I am also interested in the wildflower meadow project. My daughter and her DH live on 5 acres and have an area next to their pond that would be a perfect location. Guess I should run the idea by her first! :o)
If we could just mow by the pond, rake and then keep throwing in seeds that would be great. I am wondering after things start growing do you just let it be or does it need to be mowed down sometime during the year to tidy it up and help keep things going?
