So I bought some wildflower mixture, and they recommend to thin/blend with sand so you can see where you broadcast and go see it easier. So I took one step further and added clover as well.

I have 2 wildflower mixes, 10gs of each, I know it’s probably not enough to get a dense lawn, but that’s also why I thinned it clover that I’ve already started turning the lawn over to.

So I took about 1/2 of one of wildflower packets and mixed it with 1 scoop of clover seed and 5 scoops of play sand. Gonna broadcast my entire front lawn, ther grass isn’t too tall yet, although I should mow to the lowest setting first.

Anyways follow along for updates on this adventure!

    I’m about to plant mine. They probably need the cold to sprout this year but next year you will be set. I have mine in the fridge mixed with wet sand and they are just starting to sprout

      Interesting.

      Some of my seeds recommend something along those lines, but for wildflower, it’s after last frost. So still risky, but I assume hardiness zone plays majorly into the pre coldening for “wildflowers”.
