The message
from "tim" contains these words: does anyone have any info on seasonal scheduling of work to be done on a couple of acres that have been layed out to meadow. If you're talking about ornamental meadow, not grazing meadow, then try an advanced search in my posting history in google's archive, under "wildflower meadow". Janet. |

The aftermath could then be grazed for a period (it depends on the stock, sheep, cattle, horses) before November. If you have pernicious weeds (ragwort, cow parsley, hogweed, thistle), they will need treating in the spring - and then you join the farming community in praying for the right weather. Most Nature Reserves rely on grazing (at the right time) to prevent reversion to coarse growth and scrub but with 2 acres one could successfully manage that with hand picking the rough stuff (like as what I does). -- ned |
