Great stuff and love the idea of getting farmers harvesting off meadows. And also drawing focus to other suppliers. Got a few videos going forward over the summer which might be of interest.
Thank you so much! I'm getting ready to plant a meadow on the side and back of my house for my chickens. You answered all of my specific questions about seeds and soil (even though we're on opposite sides of the pond). I just have to learn to convert grams to ounces lol. I'd like to use natives so I've further research to do for american seed mixes
@@HabitatAid Oh yes I know! I'll put a temporary fence around the new plantings for at least 6 months if not a year. I typically have 9 hens on 1/2 acre food forest to free range so I'm adding this plot to increase the volume of really nutritious greens and seeds :)
I love wild flower patches . I showed my seeds last week they are growing already . Thanks for the video
I enjoyed watching the video of starting the wildflower patch. Healthy plants grow well in good soil. I enjoyed watching the video.
Thanks for the informative video. We'll done and good luck with your program

Thanks for the message. You'll find it tough to get much going when there are chickens around though! They're super destructive...

I need something for regulating creeping buttercup.
Hi Pat - tricky! I'm afraid if you heavy and relatively fertile soil it's going to like you. Manual removal is the best option.
Not covering at all after sowing, do you not experience birds gorging themselves on your seed?
Generally no - not unless you have a flock of pigeons!
