Wildflower Planting Over a Septic Field: Fall is Best

You can spray glyphosate now to clear the area, but don't wait until spring to seed. Wildflowers need fall planting so winter cold stratifies the seed for spring bloom.

Prepare the bed this fall, sow seed, and let nature do the work. See xrl.us/gawildflower for detailed guides.
