I am looking to plant a mini meadow in my side yard. I’ve got seeds from Native American seed co- a couple of mixes – pocket prairie mix and horny toad mix- plus some extra blue bonnet and pollinator mixes. I’ve got enough seeds for the area— but I’m kind of stuck about how to start. Should I till this? Should I hand pull a of the weeds? Should I lay some mulch? Compost?
How should I prepare this area to lay the meadow seeds?
I have it in my mind I should get the seeds down this fall- like I do my bluebonnets- but I also would be open to suggestions around timing too.

you can mow the area really short and then use a hoe or a rake to get the rest of the plant material up! i wouldn’t till it because the seed bed is probably just bermuda grass. here’s what i always refer people to: https://seedsource.com/content/pdfs/NAScatalog_HowtoGrowNativeSeed.pdf
