Description carrat-down

Suitable for sowing within hedgerows and semi–shaded woodland, providing floral interest from April - September. Due to light levels being lower than in open field sites growth of companion grasses will be slow, in turn making this mixture low in maintenance however, brambles may require control from time to time. 

If possible when cutting in late summer an area of up to one third should be left uncut until the following spring for overwintering invertebrates. This area should be alternated each year.

An 80:20 mix of grasses & UK native wildflowers including Garlic Mustard, Red Campion, Squared Stemmed St Johns Wort and Hedge Parsley.

Copy Usage Guide
Sowing Rate 5 g/m2
Sowing Time March - October
Sowing Depth 10 mm
Sowing Instructions Create a fine friable seedbed down to 150 mm in depth. Carry out two equal sowings at right angles to each other and diagonally to main axis. Broadcast manually or use seed drill, rake level and roll. Ensure good seed to soil contact.
Maintenance
 

First cut mid-September - 1st October and collect the arisings.

Cutting height 70 -100 mm

 
 

Cut from mid-August to early October. This can be done as one cut but preferable, and if the meadow is big enough, you will cut it in sections leaving a week to a fortnight between cuts. Ensure you collect the arisings. If the meadow is large enough, consider allowing up to a fifth to stand uncut through the winter and cut down and remove the clippings in March the following year, this will provide a habitat for invertebrates and some vertebrates over the winter. Rotate this area so a different section is left uncut each year. This more closely replicates the grazing of animals which would leave some small areas not grazed.

If possible, and with the obvious exception of areas you are leaving uncut, lightly mow the sward down to 70 -100 mm as required throughout the winter months until March and collect the clippings.
