Spruce up your outdoor space and make your patio pots and flower beds look gorgeous for the outdoor entertaining season with MayFord Seeds new Mega Pack range. Going the seed route is not only easy and convenient, but also much lighter on your gardening budget, compared to seedlings.
New to planting with seeds? No problem. The clever packaging insets show you exactly what to do with these icons:
- “Throw and sow” indicates it is easy to grow.
- “Water wise & indigeous” will give you a break from constant watering
- “Bee friendly” will attract some life to your flowers and makes for a pollinator friendly garden.
- “Cut flower” lets you know they’re good for the vase
When planning how much seed you need, look out for the button showing you just how much space the seed will cover, e.g. ‘Enough for’ 5m².
The package also shows you how to measure your sowing area. If, for example, you want to plant Alyssum, but you are not sure how much to get or how wide it spreads, simply follow the instructions on the back. One packet will cover 5 m² and since it’s easy enough to spread seed over one square metre at a time, you are shown how to decant the seed packet into 5 equal piles (1 pile for each 1m²) onto white paper.
