Turning a #SepticField into a #wildflower #meadow
by Anna, January 18, 2023
"When I mentioned not wanting to turn our septic field into the traditional mowed lawn, Travis Sparks wrote in to share his impressive mini-meadow, started in 2017 atop his #Maine septic field.
First step turning a septic field into a wildflower meadow
" 'I mowed the area down as low as I could in late spring 2017,' he wrote, 'spread a thin layer of compost over the whole area, broadcast a variety of both perennial [be careful about root depth if using perennials -- or annuals for that matter] and annual seed mixes over it, and lightly raked everything. I mowed it a couple more times that year (higher cut) to try to knock the competition back while things germinated, and then left it be.'
" 'I just had sparse grasses and wildflowers to start (nothing woody) before doing any of this, so the competition wasn’t too strong early on. It was reasonably successful the following year.'
"Travis wasn’t entirely thrilled with wildflower establishment, though, so he repeated the process in late spring 2019 including 'another very light top-dressing of compost since the leach field soil is mostly just sandy fill.' The results that year were even more inspiring...
"[2021 update] Travis wrote that after the establishment phase, he hasn’t done anything to keep the meadow on track (although I suspect he’ll have to mow now and then to keep woody plants out).
"I’m so impressed by his success, which turns his septic field into habitat for pollinators and lots of other wildlife. Have you turned a blah septic field into an integral part of your homestead? If so, I’d love to hear about it!"

Walking through the meadow at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, I felt the midday heat bearing down on me. The summer sun was relentless, but my determination to capture the perfect shot of a butterfly kept me going. It was a serene day, the kind where the air hums with the sound of insects and the…

Bumblebee on a Woodland Sunflower
This photograph is another from the large set of pictures I captured while on the guided summer wildflower walk of the wildflower meadows at Duke Farms. My wife Bhavna was with me, sharing in the glamour of the surroundings. Near the end of the guided tour, we entered a meadow that grows on either side of the Great Meadows Path near the bottom of Ginkgo Lane. The […]

#FieldOfDreams this week we mowed. The lupine and poppies gone to seed. The poppies as perennials will come back this summer. The rest will be back with fall rains later this year. Birds enjoy hunting through the duff for seeds. #wildflowers #wildflowermeadows #CaNativePlants
