my lovely meadow was invaded by sheep last year
and now taken over by soft rush,,my meadowsweet,valerian,etc almost gone
wondering if anyone has hints on how to reduce the
juncus invasion,,now the sheep have gone.

Are you sure the meadowsweet and valerian are gone for good? It is early
in the year still: you may find it pops back up over the next few months,
or even next year if you return to the 'pre-sheep' regime.
