A friend who has a grassy bank outside her home (presently long grass and dandelions etc) which is North facing and sheltered from trees and in a bit of a dip, has asked me the best way to sow new plants or wildflowers. Obviously the dandelions thrive on the moist slope, so can anyone give any advice on how to colonise more flowers, preferably wild when I have strimmed it all back for her. I will use the grass and weed tops as mulch for my soil for organic compost when the worms pull it down. It is Council owned but they have stopped cutting it for her. I do have some wildflower bee friendly seeds I could sprinkle on the grass when cut but I imagine they wouldn't do very well in competition with the weeds ? There are daffodil bulbs in there but the squirrels have since removed them.
If anyone has any experience with this type of thing perhaps they can advise me on the best way to go about this. Thanks.
Here is a Google maps shot of the area.
