Experiment

[headcase]

next year was going to do 2 runs of drill (8m=1acre)down a footpath hedge of sunflowers but got myself thinking might add sweetcorn and lupins?
just chuck say 2kg lupin,2kg sweetcorn and say 4kg of sunnies in and leave them alone
early flowers off the lupins for the bees
flowers on the sunnies then bird food later on
plus i get a feed of corn
could put a honesty box there if neighbours want a few sunny heads or corns??

🤷‍♂️

Some phacelia as well

Would that be earlier flowers than the lupins?

Slugs love lupins, might not be the sort of creature you want in your field
