What does the Wildflower  seed mat kit contain?

The kit contains a generous sized piece of our garden felt (60cm x 35cm), a packet of annual and perennial wildflower seeds, a bag of Sheepwool compost, and eight bamboo skewers so you can peg it down as a whole or cut it into two.

 

How do you use the Wildflower seed mat kit?

The great thing about this mat is that you don’t need to prepare a bed or anything. No weeding or raking or anything first. Just peg the mat down firmly in the place you want the flowers to grow. Make sure it’s nice and wet, then sprinkle the seeds all over. Then lightly sprinkle over the sheep wool compost. Keep it moist and the seeds will start growing in a week or two.

 

What’s the best time of year for planting the Wildflower seed mat kit?

It’s best to sow them in the spring or early summer. However, if you want to give them a head start you can cut them into two and put them in seed trays, to get them started indoors. Once the seeds start sprouting you can cut the felt into bits and put the wool into pots, out on the bed where you want them to grow, or even in hanging baskets. You can get imaginative and plant them in any kind of container you like, even old boots or watering cans!

 

What’s so great about wildflowers?

Insects are attracted to all kinds of flowers, but our native insects have evolved to work with our native wildflowers. Some insects are multi-taskers and some are specialists, relying on just a limited range of species. So it’s good to use native wildflowers for native insects.

 

Are cultivated flowers as good for insects as wildflowers?

Our gardens provide a wide range of flowers, extending beyond the natural growing season of our native wildflowers. These can provide valuable food sources for insects, especially at the beginning and end of the season. Sadly the number of wildflowers has decreased over recent years so by having them in the garden or by having exotic flowers that flower earlier or later than native ones, there is more of a food source for our insects.

The Royal Horticultural Society did a study to see whether native or non-native plants were best for pollinating insects. The conclusion was that a mix of both was beneficial, with a greater proportion of native ones. Read more about it here.

Look out for their Perfect for Pollinators logo for the best plants for our pollinating insects.

 

What seeds are in the packet?

Perfect for Pollinators seeds of course! A mixture of annual, biennial and perennial plants. These are:

Common Agrimony, Borage, Wild Clary, Red Clover, White Clover, Corn Cockle, Cornflower, Ox-eye Daisy, Wild Foxglove, Common Knapweed, Greater Knapweed, Purple Loosestrife, Wild Marjoram, Meadow Cranesbill, Musk Mallow, Common Pooppy, Ragged Robin, Sainfoin, Field Scabious, Teasel, Birds-foot Trefoil, Kidney Vetch, Viper’s Bugloss, Yarrow, Yellow Rattle. The species included in this mixture create an attractive display from May to October and is suitable for creating habitats for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. It contains a wide range of species to create a diverse environment and range of food to support local wildlife.

 

Why are bees and butterflies getting more scarce? And why does it matter?

Here, let Professor Dave Goulson explain it.

 

Do we have to like all insects?

It’s easy to like the “good” insects like bees and butterflies, and harder to like the ones that bite or sting or chew your clothes. But they’ve all got a role to play. Our clothes moths products are to control clothes moths in the home, but out in the wild they do a great job of cleaning up fur, feathers, skin, stuff that would sit around for a long time if the clothes moth larva wasn’t there to chew it up and then hatch into bat food.

 

How long will the wildflower wool seedmat last for?

The wool will biodegrade and provide nutrients for the plants over about a year. The annuals / biennials will bloom once, produce seeds which will be eaten by birds or re-seed if they can. The perennials  should keep going indefinitely.

Pretty good but...
Format: Paperback
I think this is a VERY good comic book, but ... i don't know... i just do NOT agree with the 5 out of 5 positive reviews. I think: a)Too short. b)I didn't get attached to the characters. c)kind of...something missing. I just won't remember this one in a year ("Solanin" on the other hand) Lately i bought "Preacher" "Y: the last man" "Full metal alchemist" "Batman: the killing joke" "The dark knight returns" "Maus" "The Goon" "fell" "Desolation Jones" "I kill Giants" And ALL of these are MUCH more memorable and interesting than "Daisy Kutter" Though, AGAIN, i think if this was a longer series and had taken time to build a bond between me and the Daisy and other characters it would've been completely different. I like this universe of Daisy's.

Clever, Refreshing, Enchanting!
Overall Review: Ella Enchanted is one of my favorite fairy tale retellings of all time. It's a perfect fantasy: A `damsel in distress', a prince, an indifferent parent, fairies (including a fairy godmother!), man-eating ogres, future-telling gnomes, fun-loving giants, talented elves, an evil step-mother (of course!!), evil and greedy stepsisters... Put all those characters together and add some spur of the moment travels, finishing school, a few balls, and, above all, a curse, and you have a recipe for something unforgettable! The writing for this novel is accessible to any age. From young children to adults, everyone can find something to love. The characters are individuals with such sparkle! Ella's gift with languages is uncanny and so much fun as she converses with the different species she meets along her way to find the fairy Lucinda and, hopefully, break her curse! The stepsisters are not just nasty--they have personality, even if those personalities are cunning and evil...and a bit daft. There are wonderful moments of humor--as Ella tries to find new ways to thwart the commands she is given, but especially when a wig is stolen! The relationship between Ella and Prince Char is so sweet--from her desire to make him laugh, to the exchanging of letters while he is away in Ayortha, to their final encounter, it's enough to make you sigh with pleasure. Ella Enchanted is a timeless Gem! Overall rating is 5 out of 5 stars! Content Review: PROFANITY: NONE VIOLENCE: A few mild instances SEXUAL CONTENT: NONE MATURE THEMES: Mild RECOMMENDED AGE GROUP: 9+ There is no profanity or sexual content (there is a strain of romance throughout, and two characters kiss, but it is very sweet). The violence centers around the ogres, mostly. They eat living creatures. A horse is eaten. A character is caught by ogres and they talk about which parts they're going to eat (the character is not eaten). Ogres chase down a carriage so they can eat the people inside (again, they're not eaten). Ogres try to eat a human and a gnome. One character dies because of illness. A character always thinks of the worst things that could happen because of a curse (many of them involve death and sadness). Some characters are very cruel to another character (making them become a servant and forcing them to work extremely hard). A few of the themes are overcoming curses (obstacles/difficulties), loss of loved ones, and dealing with difficult people/life situations. I read this book aloud to my children and they loved every minute! Ella Enchanted is a Squeaky Clean Read for ages 9+!

Absolutely Delightful and an Old Friend
Format: Kindle
I’ve always loved Cinderella stories; ever since I was a little girl. I’d never heard of this book until the movie came out when I was in college. I decided to buy the movie as I had liked Anne Hathaway in Princess Diaries. The first time I watched it was with my cousin who was actually teaching the book in her middle school class and was very curious about the movie. At first I really like the movie. My cousin assured me that the book was better but that’s usually the case so I didn’t pay too much attention. Finally I checked the book out of the library. I began to read and was hooked from the beginning. I knew just a few pages in that Ella Enchanted (the book) and I were going to be great friends, in other words, I knew I’d be reading it over and over again. I went out and bought my own copy before I even finished reading the library’s copy. I still have that book now about 17 years later and have read it many times. Because of declining health I’ve had to recently start reading my books on Kindle. I don’t have the strength to hold up an actual book. Today, I bought a Kindle version of Ella Enchanted so I can have my old friend back. After I’d read the book, I realized how much the movie had destroyed the story. I ended trading it in at some store that did trades for the DVD of Spider Man. They added a ruthless, super-villain in the movie when she already had a stepmother and stepsisters who were willing to order her about. Her father as I recall was simply absent. He’d left instructions for his new wife to treat his daughter as she would her own which she thoroughly ignored, but, in the end it was Ella’s own strength that sets her free, which I think is something very important for young girls to learn to be strong in their own right. I’m looking forward to catching up with an old friend again.

Good But Could Be Better
Format: Paperback
First, the good things about this book: I picked up the book after seeing the movie only to find that they were somewhat different, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. To start off, I loved the idea of having Ella being cursed to obey every command. It was the question I asked the first time I read the fairytale, "Why did she always do what her stepmother said?" And that question was thoroughly answered in this novel. I liked the character of Ella and her rebellious spirit. Levine definitely presented to us a new and different take on Cinderella, one much more spirited than the ridiculously innocent and proper Cinderella we are accustomed to. I especially liked her bravery, a surprising characteristic in the female protagonist of a romance novel, and how she was able to save herself from danger instead having prince Charmont save her. Speaking of the prince, I'm surprised to say I liked him in spite of hating practically all other "re-invented" versions of Prince Charming in every other princess story. Charmont was charming without being brash or flirtatious; he was honest, steady, and true to his word, without being a cliched knight in shining armor. I enjoyed watching the blooming friendship and eventually romance between Char and Ella; the character development was more than I expected and added depth to the story. I also rather enjoyed the "villians" of the story in the forms of Olga, Ella's father Sir Peter, Hattie, and Olive. Though they are easy to hate in the traditional fairy tale, they are even more despicable in the book. SPOILER ALERT AHEAD. One of the things I liked most about this book was that Lucinda, Ella's fairy godmother, got a taste of her own medicine, which I feel the book needed (though this was not included in the movie). However, one thing I felt the book needed towards the end of the story was an assassination plot to kill Prince Char. After Char proposes, Ella feels she can't marry him because someone would use her to kill him or some how ruin the kingdom. At the time there doesn't seem to be any such danger present, considering her step-family adores him and the entire kingdom loves him. I felt a plot to kill the prince, such as in the movie, would be the perfect danger to round out the last third of the novel and add some excitement and a legitimate reason for Ella to lie to Char about her feelings. The only other thing that really bothered me was the mention of Angulen's pottery. It is stated that his works are very valuable and of much importance, and the novel puts much influence on them, yet they have absolutely nothing to do with the plot in any way. Overall, it is a good book for those within it's target demographic. With a fiery Cinderella and prince who actually is charming, I feel this is a good retelling of the classic Cinderella story.
