Sowing a meadow

Post by JohnR »

Has anyone any practical experience of sowing wild-flower seed into established grassland? I am about to prepare half an acre of some fairly short sward and following the instructions from the seed house I need 50-70% bare ground prepared by harrowing. Now I have a light chain harrow but I also have a tractor mounted tiller. Would it not be better for me to shallow rotovate the whole area, sow, and roll?
