ORDERING & PROCURMENT
MeadowPatch™ is not a stocked product. They are custom grown for each project with specified species mix.
We recommend planting MeadowPatch™ the same season it is grown for best results.
Please confirm your orders by the end of April each spring for production that season.
Due to the growing format, MeadowPatch™ has a limited implementation window.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Soil Requirements : Native and adaptive plants are not fussy about soil conditions. Use existing garden soil, a loam or screened top soil.
Level or contour soil as desired, ensure to remove any visible weeds prior to planting.
Lightly wet the soil and apply a balanced organic fertilizer.
MeadowPatch™ can be laid in a continuous 100% coverage approach, in individual pieces or cut into smaller divisions.
Cut as needed with a utility knife.
Ensure exposed edges are covered with soil.
Water deeply immediately after planting and then every 2-3 days until plants have rooted in the soil
MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
Once established, MeadowPatch™ require minimal maintenance.
If used in a garden setting, we recommend cutting the previous years growth back early spring. This allows seed heads to reach maturity and provides habitat for insects, and provides a food source for birds.
Fertilize at installation and annually if desired using a balanced N-P-K controlled release product.
