Thanks. I have some of those, but not all.

 

Where did you generate that list from?!

It's my clay soil mix, it's what Prince Charles uses on his Highgrove estate.

The site below might be useful but I’d invite the comments of the more learn’ed folk on this thread who have run the gamut already ....[emoji847]

did a paddock a few years ago they got a farmer in to rotavate it and not a brilliant job but the grass varieties and soil were too strong for wild flower meadow and it did ok the first year but after that not so good but what struck me was the price of yellow rattle seed you could have bought gold cheaper by weight

Just got back from holiday to find that I do have some yellow rattle in my meadow, and that it's set seed. And also got a few new (I think) flower varieties. Hooray! May give it a mow in a month or two.

Just harvested mine.  Scythed it off a few days ago but was a couple of days late as it was dropping seed like mad.  Managed to salvage enough for future project and some for a couple of mates.
