THE MARDLER GARDENER AKA PANSY’S POTTERINGS “The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear.” William Cullen Bryant. Meadow gardens have been fashionable for a while. So if you do not have the room, is a mini meadow viable? If you are someone who likes to do things properly then a mini meadow does take time and preparation. It’s not enough to just let the grass grow; position is key, being in full sun and having well drained soil. Very shady areas aren't suitable. An annual meadow would need to be cleared and sown with seeds every year, while a perennial meadow sorts itself out up to a point. Annual meadows need richer soil than perennial meadows. You will still need to weed regularly to begin with, some plants are very invasive and they will take over. Sow yellow rattle it will help to reduce the amount of lawn grass you have and wild flowers can establish in the gaps. Plug plants get your mini meadow off to a more definite start, as you can plan which plants to put in. Mini meadows need to be scythed once a year in late summer. Leave the hay where it falls for a week, to help the wild flower seeds drop back down into the soil. Rake all the hay away so as not to increase fertility and use it for compost. 23
