We wanted to see if we could establish a meadow area in an established sward. We chain harrowed the site in
early October and, while it continued to be grazed by sheep, planted a
selection of plugs topped up with some Meadow Cranesbill I had to hand, and sowed some seed (principally
Rattle ) from another area.
