Hope for the Lappinch

…its looking good for the meadow project !    A quick cross reference on the internet to understand what all the numbers mean show that soil fertility levels are low and pH is good – providing a better than expected starting point for our proposed new species rich meadow that we have planned for a small corner field on our land. 

Having successfully established a wonderful wildflower meadow at our previous home, we knew that soil fertility is very much the enemy of species rich meadow – especially in Cheshire where grass grows almost while you are looking at it. We always suspected this little corner of our farm was going to be low in fertility and these soil samples confirm it. 

It’s an encouraging start and now we can press ahead with our plans for establishing the new meadow!
