I like starting with what might be viable for my area and then pulling out all the natives to focus on first, maybe some cultivars of that and then I'd look at what ever I can form into round popsicle forms! (The last is just for you Billy)

Hey Billy, good to see your smiling face in yet another venue. Good on ya!

I have a real question. I use sheet mulching and it works very well, thank you! I also want that cool meadow look with wild flowers. I might be getting there, but sheet mulching doesn't seem like it would work. I have lots of the old bromus diandrus (rip gut) and black mustard that wants to lord over the whole area and keeps my poppies etc. from getting their fair share. Pulling them up is a pain in the gizard and sheet mulching would shut out my broadcast and natural seeding efforts as well as the brome. Any body out there got ideas.
