Plug planting for the neighbours at Corehead

24.09.2025

Today we metaphorically sowed the seeds of a new wildflower meadow to boost the insect population in the land of the neighbours at Corehead. The plants that were identified as being the most beneficial for the plot were: devil's bit scabious, knapweed & meadow vetchling. The process involved the following steps:

  1. Strip a square of the grass away with a scarifying rake.
  2. Select the plant plugs to be used at the site.
  3. Plant 4 of the same plugs in the square cleared in step 1.

Step 1, scarrify the grass to remove the competition for the plug plants.
