Help Please!
I am a member of the Friends of Pickering Park here in Hull. We have a
gardening day coming up soon, and wanted to get some advice. Our plan is to plough up the tennis courts (grass courts not used for years) and plant a mixture of Cornflower and Field Poppy seeds in an area the size of 4 (2x2) Tennis Courts. Any one got any idea how much seed we would need? There is another area adjacent that we plan to turn into a wild flower meadow, advice on this would also be welcome. Thanking you in advance for all your help - Tony Ryan |

The normal rate for sowing poppy and cornflower is a modest 2g. per square metre. However, you should remember that these seeds will only flower once unless you disturb the ground every year. Much better to sow a perennial wildflower mixture and disturb small areas in this so that you get patches of annual flowers every year. Moles can do a good job for you here. A good place to get your seed would be Emorsgate seeds http://wildseed.co.uk You will find that their catalogue contains all the information that you need. Phil |
