Aftercare
Take care to look after your new meadow.
- When the seeds have germinated and the grasses reach a height of about 10cm, the meadow should be cut. This will knock back unwanted 'weeds' such as groundsel and chickweed. Any thistles and docks should be pulled up.
- Before cutting, you can lightly roll the meadow to firm any plants into the soil.
- During the first year try to cut your meadow every 6-8-weeks. Always remove the cuttings to prevent a build up of dead plant material. This will help the meadow plants to become established.
- In following years, adopt a twice a year mowing pattern.
