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!

    Absolutely important to dig into it a bit, which is why I contacted the local environmental group about it, who happily provided a list of suitable plants I used as a reference point.

    It’s also mostly places like those little traffic islands or empty estates. I try to avoid doing it around the canals in my city since they actually are a differing habitat.

    Also I only do it on public property or non developed lots, if you want to have a golf course lawn in your garden suit yourself, I will not touch it, but I will silently judge you ;)

    But your point is very valid, do some research, reach out to environmental groups and educate yourself on the differing habitats in your area.
