F*ckin' 'ell! I just wanted a nice bit of wildflower meadow. Couple of poppies, etc.
Fuck knows.
My current thinking on the subject is you're best off removing a couple of inches of lawn, replacing with impoverished soil, then laying those wildflower seed mats.
That ground looks way too fertile not to end up with lush grass.

Right. Approximately one year on. I'm still at battle with the grass. I lay yellow rattle seed last October-ish time but can't see any evidence of it yet. It's due to flower in about a month.
In the interim, I've also put in some supposedly perennial tulips to brighten my mood. I think that I may have put a load of Camassia in as well. Though also, I can - as yet - see no evidence of that.
Next year, along with more yellow rattle seed, I'm also thinking about putting some bare root perennials in.
