The Acid Soil Wildflower 80% Grass Mix is most effective when used on moderately acidic soils (pH 4-5.5). Sowing is best achieved when the seed is mixed with dry sand, dry sifted topsoil or sawdust and evenly spread. The seedbed should be lightly raked and rolled before this as it is important that the seeds make contact with the moisture in the soil.

Wildflower Site Preparation

• The planting site should be completely weed free, and annual weeds should be controlled through the use of a contact-based herbicide. Perennial weeds can be managed with a translocated herbicide such as Round-Up. Achieve a fine seed bed by cultivating, sow seed mix and roll to ensure firmness. Good contact between the soil and seeds promises for optimum results.
