I have sown a section of my garden with Wild Meadow seed recently (less

aswell, when I was doing the rest of the lawn.
As soon as I had done it I suddenly thought this may kill the wild
meadow seed before it has even started....So my question is have I done
the wrong thing using weed and feed over this area..?
Depends on how you look at it. Your weed and feed probably has 2.4-D,
which will kill most broadleaf plants, so you've just nuked what you sowed.
On the other hand, most of the "Wild Meadow"-type seed mixes are loaded with
non-native plants that often become real nuisances in some areas. So you've
possibly staved off a problem for yourself.
On the other hand, we probably don't need more 2,4-D running around in the soil
and getting into mischief.
