A wildflower gromat is advertised in next week's Radio Times. Has anyone
had any experience of this or similar ones? I'm minded to try one in my
garden.

Why ask us?

You should surely ask Wallace!

I wish you were 7000ft up in Wales without a paddle.

What does it matter, 7000 ft up in Wales a paddle would do nothing for you.

Ahem. I'll have go at replying to your original post.
No, I have not tried one. I have a big garden that is barely under control
and wildflowers seem to occur naturally ;-)

It would be helpful to know a) how big your garden is b) what you are
planning to achieve if it's very small by buying the wildflower Gromat c)
whether you are being taken in by the advertiser by the idea that they
promote of "being green, attracting wildlife etc.

Can you provide a link for this Gromat?

Thanks Tina for a sensible answer at last!

a) Not very big, so I thought a corner would be enough for the Grobag.
And it will cut with the garden scissors so I can have several small
patches.

b) See a).

c) www.windeals.co.uk/wildflower

That is what they say, but it's not why I want one: for an easy way of
growing a few patches of wild flowers for their own sake.

I read the link. Just like Omlet "anyone can keep chickens ( if we provide
you with an expensive hut")

Get yourself a packet of wildflower seeds and do it yourself.

You want wild flowers? Just stop gardening, you'll get them.
