GROWING GUIDE
Sow in autumn or early spring at a rate of 2g/m2 on bare soil or 1g/m2 on grass.
Prepare the ground
Bare soil:
• Clear all plant matter by digging and/or using organic weedkiller
• Rake soil to a fine texture and firm down
• Leave for a few weeks and remove any new weed seedlings
Existing grass:
• Mow grass very short
• Remove perennial weeds
• Thin grass and create some bare patches/strips by raking or with organic weedkiller
Sowing
• Seed can be mixed with dry sand or compost to make it easier to sow evenly
• Roll or tread by foot to press seeds into the soil
• In very dry weather, water the area with a fine spray
Maintenance
• Remove any obvious weeds as they appear
• Keep area well watered in dry weather
• Leave plant matter in the ground over winter as shelter for hibernating wildlife and to provide material for nesting birds in spring. Tidy the area in late spring when new plants have emerged.
