    \tillers Turf lincoln, came is laid, doesnt look much now but last years bit looks great this year.The lat 2 years turves came from Wiggly Wigglers, but were £30 each plus VAT and delivery, but they are really big.  lots of places had very large minimum orders.

    I will see if I can get my Daughter to do that tomorrow, I bought 10 sq mt, was getting 14, but desided to get plugs for one side and put rugoas in the centre, (an idea I got from the book "My garden is a car park and other design ideas) the 100%  wildflower or lo-gro, which is plants up to 75cm, 100% wildflower, the previous stuff was 80-20 i didnt want any grass, figure there will always be some grass ffrom lawn etc seeding, £16 per sq mt plus VAT delivered to my postcode BN22.  The area I covered was 15ft length by 8ft narrowing to 6ft, sorry to mess sizing am rubbish at metric!

    Thank you so much for answering my questions, figured out the feet to metres brilliant size wildlife turf and will be fab in flower wildlife havon and brilliant price

    Good to see the differance from turf to plugs and see how well the fill out the space

    Sounds interesting book will look it up

    that sounds brilliant looked at the website and closest to me is Salisbury

    May well try and make an area for a bit of wildlife turf not the main part of grass garden as just re turfed with Homebase turf, but some where near the house so can see from indoors as well, there is a patch that has got self seeded bits in this year lots of vabascums came up it was a bit of soil that got moved around from doing patio

    Here you go Gardengirl,obviously, the tall stuff on the right is 1 and 2 year old wildflower meadow.the short stuff was laid friday, we were really lucky, it rained yesterday, and as you can see, it is growing already, clover,lawn daisies and I think yarrow, is doing really well.  For the full list of the plants, I used Tillers Verdi lo-gro, past the tree are the plugs I bought from the place that you recomended, and 2 rosa rugosas.
