    hi Peter
    i ordered some much more expensive ones online!!! Then saw the box in wilko too so I’m now overloaded with seeds!!!! Going to use on my lawn this week, grow some in plugs, pots and also chance them in borders.....why the heck not!

    Do not fertilize for wild flowers, they prefer poor soil . If you  have a mix with grass in, use yellow rattle to curb the enthusiasm of the grass.
     If you don't want to strip off all the grass, using plug plants  in a matrix may be the way to go.

    hello srd. i am not putting seeds into my lawn thats already full of dandelions tortoise likes them so i have not tried to eradicate them. i am sowing seeds in a 1 metre by 8 metre stretch of land .i have tried planting home grown flowers in this area before but dont have any luck. so i thought i would give it a go.look forward to hearing how you get on and i will do the same. best regards peter. ps hope  it goes   well .
