WILD FLOWER SEED
available at the Depot NOW
Inspired by the recent series on the BBC "Bees,
Buterflies and Blooms" presented by Sarah Raven,
Kate has ordered a bag of wild flower seed mix from Boston Seeds which
has been specifically selected for being a particularly good foraging
source for our butterflies and bees.
The seed mix is now bagged up into 4gm bags which should be enough
to cover a 1square metre patch of soil fairly densely,
or it can be scattered over flower beds to suit @ £1.50 per
bag. Nb: Wild flowers thrive on poor soil so should not be sown where
any fertiliser or other soil enhancer has been used.
