A response to overgrown grass or neglected areas that could use some native wildflowers...A system for increasing pollinator and wildlife value in existing grasslands.

Lots of folks contact us wondering what to do with overgrown grassy areas that lack native plants. Often this includes areas that are too big, too difficult, or not economically feasible to completely clear of existing vegetation and start from scratch.

After several years of testing at multiple sites across the Northwest, we formulated a mix of just wildflowers – specifically the wildflowers we’ve successfully overseeded into existing grass and thatch.

This is a low-cost and low-input option for adding more biological richness to areas such as:

  • Old fields
  • Roadside ditches and embankments
  • Vacant lots
  • Post-industrial sites
  • Marginal areas previously disturbed by encampments, logging, or construction
  • Retired hayfields and pastures (note: this isn’t a mix for livestock)
  • Abandoned or overgrown lawns

For best success, and for accurate expectations, please note the following:

1. This is a mix for full sun, or a mix of full sun and partial/dappled shade.

2. No inert material needs to be added before sowing. These are relatively dense, heavy seeds that can work their way down through some thatch to reach and settle upon the soil surface.

3. Progress with overseeding wildflowers into grassy areas can be slow. We recommend repeating the process annually, or at least every few years, if possible. This, combined with optimal installation and management (see below) can slowly change the plant community, adding color, diversity, and biological richness.

4. Overseeding into diverse grass populations (e.g. mixtures of timothy, orchard grass, lawn fescues, sweet vernal grass, etc.) will typically result in more success than overseeding solid monocultures of invasive grasses (e.g. reed canary grass or rat tail fescue).

Installation and Management: Seed should be hand-scattered or mechanically broadcast over the existing grass sward in late summer through early winter.

Initial Site Preparation may consist of the following approaches:

1. OKAY: Seed can be simply scattered into existing grass in late summer. This approach will work best with repeated annual overseeding

2. BETTER: Mow the site with a thatching lawn mower blade in mid-summer to finely chop-up the clippings. Repeated mowing at the lowest possible height is ideal to both break down the clippings and thatch as much as possible, and to open up more bare ground between the existing grass. Then, in late-summer, the site can be overseeded.

3. BEST: Mow the site as low as possible in early fall with a bagging mower, or cut the field for hay, and remove the bagged clippings or hay bales to compost them away from the meadow. Then, overseed the area before significant grass re-growth occurs.

Following the initial first-year seeding, you should perform active ongoing-management of the meadow for best performance:

1. OKAY: Actively watch for and remove aggressive weed invaders such as Canada thistle and blackberry. Continue to overseed the meadow in late summer every year if possible, or at least every few years. Consider adding yellow rattle at a rate of 1-2 packets per 100-sqft to further reduce grass vigor and increase wildflowers.

2. BETTER: Actively watch for and remove aggressive weed invaders such as Canada thistle and blackberry. Mow the site with a thatching lawn mower blade in early fall to finely chop-up the clippings. Repeated mowing at the lowest possible height is ideal to both break down the clippings and thatch as much as possible, and to open up more bare ground between the existing grass. Continue to overseed the meadow immediately after mowing every year if possible, or at least every few years. Consider adding yellow rattle at a rate of 1-2 packets per 100-sqft to further reduce grass vigor and increase wildflowers.

3. BEST: Actively watch for and remove aggressive weed invaders such as Canada thistle and blackberry. Mow the site as low as possible in early fall with a bagging mower, or cut the field for hay, and remove the bagged clippings or hay bales to compost them away from the meadow (composting will allow any viable insect eggs or larva to emerge). Continue to overseed the meadow immediately after mowing every year if possible, or at least every few years. Consider adding yellow rattle at a rate of 1-2 packets per 100-sqft to further reduce grass vigor and increase wildflowers.

A Note on Expectations: Neglected and overgrown grassy areas may have decades of dormant viable grass and weed seed in the soil (hundreds of pounds per acre). Reintroducing native wildflowers into such spaces is a process, not a magic switch. The more active weeding, annual mowing, and overseeding invested in such sites, the more success you will have. Although results can take several years to become increasingly visible – with active weeding, annual mowing, and late season overseeding – most grasslands can be improved.

Great swaddlers alternative when the Velcro became an issue
Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 136
I bought these because my daughter (12 months) started undoing the Velcro on her diapers, even through her clothes. Finding her soaking wet enough times led me to look for a solution. I really like these and will enjoy them until she finds her way out of them. They’re just as absorbent as Swaddlers and the overnights, and she never gets a rash in them. Only downside is the blowout barrier on the legs is much smaller, so she does have some blowouts out the side. The Swaddlers has more material there to prevent blowouts. These are also cheaper than Swaddlers and overall great quality. Soft and absorbent and I don’t have to worry about her even through a 13 hour sleep at night. That thing will weigh 5lbs when I pull it off her but it doesn’t leak! These are going to be our go to diapers as long as she doesn’t learn to pull them off.

Great fit and very convenient for active babies
Size: Size 4, Unit Count: 64, Size: Size 4, Unit Count: 64
These diapers are a great option, especially for active babies. The 360 design makes them easy to pull on and off, which is really convenient during quick changes. They fit well without feeling too tight and provide good coverage. Absorbency is solid, keeping things dry for a good amount of time. The material feels soft and comfortable on the skin. I also like how easy they are to dispose of after use. Overall, a reliable and convenient choice for everyday use.
