The proper method to create grassland is to completely remove

Rattle, and then sprinkling it with a mixture of all the wildflowers
and wild grasses that love acid soil. Well, I cannot be doing all
that. Too expensive an operation for one thing.


The ideal start point for a wildflower meadow is sub soil as left by many
new house builders!

If you try to do it on a fertile lawn it is more than likely that the
flowers will be out competed by the grass. The proper method is the proper
method for good reason!
