I’ve got a section of my garden that I want to change to a bee friendly, wildlife friendly.
Ideally I want to buy wildflower seed and spread it over the area.

Has anyone got advise on the best seed to use, that won’t break the bank.
Also have I missed the ideal time to seed this year ?

Any advise would be great.

It’s just a mud section at the moment.

Checking out wildflower seed seems to be crazy prices of around £220 for 1kg

Thinking of shelling out for this ?

Wrong time of the year to seed it, but could get ready for Sep / Nov.

So any ideas how to keep the birds off it for the couple of months it needs to establish ?

That’s what I’ve purchased from Amazon to give a go.

Going to scatter plant canes everywhere with tape flapping from it.

It’s crazy money isn’t it. However the result can last a lifetime.
