Plugs Plugs can be planted directly into
areas of turf in order to establish a wildflower meadow. Nutrients A crop such as oil-seed rape can be grown on the soil and
harvested. The crop takes nutrients out
of the soil and removing the crop at flowering time ensures the nutrients do
not return to the soil. Soil that has low fertility is typically needed for a wildflower meadow Semi-parasitic Plants We can control weeds and vigorous grasses by introducing plants that are
semi-parasitic. Rhinanthus minor (pictured below) is often planted in wildflower
meadows because it is semi-parasitic. |
