Another newbie question...

Hi again - I'm a newbie gardener. I have what will be a wildflower area in summer, and am going to sprinkle seeds on it and also put down some of those seed mats. Should I rake the seeds in, and if so what sort of rake should I get? (I'm thinking the old-style soil rakes rather than the wide-pronged leaf type rakes?) Many thanks!

This page of advice, issued by producers of wild flower seeds, should tell you everything you need to know from soil preparation to maintenance of the meadow.

Just a tip @susiebower , if you find a net or so for protection, this will help to keep the neigbourhood's cats out of the new "cat toilet".

Thanks so much @pansyface - really helpful! Seems like I don't need to rake after all!
