Bees Seeds Wildflower Seed Mat Biodegradable
Gardening has never been easier with this Bees Seeds wildflower seed mat. Made up of two layers of biodegradable tissue paper with wildflower seeds between them. Simply lay this mat onto prepared soil and cover with a thin layer of clean soil or compost. Suppressing weeds and encouraging germination of the flower seeds.
Unfortunately, our bees are in serious decline, but the good news is you can help. By planting wildflowers you can increase the number of bees circulating in your area by planting nectar-rich wildflowers. Honey bees and Bumble Bees love the varieties within this mixture of perennial, annual and biennial wildflower species, as they are a great source of nectar and pollen.
Planting instructions
- Prepare and level the ground, remove any weeds and stones before planting.
(Mat can be cut down to fit area) - Lay the mat flat over the ground and cover with approximately 1cm of clean soil or compost
