any help would be appreciated. I cannot afford to spend a fortune on
wild flower seed, surely nature should be able to cope? Al;so, at the
moment it is fenced off with rabbit proof fencing, which if necessary I
would be quite happy to remove, should I?

BTW. Wild flowers= weeds=stuff you do not want. That's why it's
wild.
You can't have it both ways.
