A late post but i mowed the top third of the meadow on the 22nd July. The 'hay' has been sitting in the rain failling to dry out since then. Not a major problem since I am planning to compost it by shredding it and trying it in the new compost tumbler I have just bought. Hopefully this will make the equivalent of Strulch, althought it will also be full of meadow seeds (aka weed seeds...unless you are making a meadow...hmmm there might be something in that!).

Creating the meadow
- This is a record of the first part of the project, between March and September 2005 when we did the groundwork for the meadow. Most of the relevant details about the process are included in the comments for each photo so I haven't repeated it elsewhere.
