Leave the soil to settle, ideally for four to six weeks, which also gives time for any weed seeds to germinate. Then fork over the soil to break up any compaction or lumps, and firm it by treading the area using small shuffling steps It’s important to remove vigorous perennial weeds such as nettles and docks – dig out by hand, removing all the roots To clear large areas of weeds, cover with black plastic, cardboard or weed-suppressing membrane for at least three months – see non-chemical weed control Sow mustard or oil-seed rape for a season to use up some of the nutrients, removing the plants before they set seed. This is mainly for large areas, but not clay soil or those rich in organic matter Remove the top layer of soil to reveal the less fertile sub-soil. This can be done by hand in small areas, but for larger sites you may need to hire a digger or bring in a landscape contractor Larger and more permanent areas of meadow need more thorough preparation, in a similar way to new lawns, and this should be done several months in advance, as follows.ġ) If you need to reduce the fertility of the soil, to create a perennial meadow that doesn’t get overwhelmed by vigorous grasses, there are two main options:

Some wildflower meadow mixes combine both annuals and perennials. They can contain a wide range species including ox-eye daisies, red campion, knapweed and field scabious. Choose a seed mix that’s suited to your site and soil type – some like fertile soil (such as vetches, clovers and lady’s smock), while others don’t mind (such as ox-eye daisies and ragged robin). Perennial meadows generally take longer to establish – most take at least two years to flower well from seed, but then continue for years to come. If you want to repeat the display the following year, new plants will grow from the fallen seeds, although additional sowings may be needed. Don’t fertilise your soil in the months before sowing, and choose a seed mix that’s suited to your soil type and location After flowering, they scatter their seeds and die. The plants grow quickly and easily from seed, and flower in just a few months. The main choice is between an annual or perennial mix:Īnnual meadows are usually a mix of colourful cornfield annuals such as cornflowers, field poppies, corn marigolds and corncockles, often with some barley and wheat too. There are lots of meadow seed mixes available, with different combinations of flowers and grasses.
