A response to overgrown grass or neglected areas that could use some native wildflowers...A system for increasing pollinator and wildlife value in existing grasslands.

Lots of folks contact us wondering what to do with overgrown grassy areas that lack native plants. Often this includes areas that are too big, too difficult, or not economically feasible to completely clear of existing vegetation and start from scratch.

After several years of testing at multiple sites across the Northwest, we formulated a mix of just wildflowers – specifically the wildflowers we’ve successfully overseeded into existing grass and thatch.

This is a low-cost and low-input option for adding more biological richness to areas such as:

  • Old fields
  • Roadside ditches and embankments
  • Vacant lots
  • Post-industrial sites
  • Marginal areas previously disturbed by encampments, logging, or construction
  • Retired hayfields and pastures (note: this isn’t a mix for livestock)
  • Abandoned or overgrown lawns

For best success, and for accurate expectations, please note the following:

1. This is a mix for full sun, or a mix of full sun and partial/dappled shade.

2. No inert material needs to be added before sowing. These are relatively dense, heavy seeds that can work their way down through some thatch to reach and settle upon the soil surface.

3. Progress with overseeding wildflowers into grassy areas can be slow. We recommend repeating the process annually, or at least every few years, if possible. This, combined with optimal installation and management (see below) can slowly change the plant community, adding color, diversity, and biological richness.

4. Overseeding into diverse grass populations (e.g. mixtures of timothy, orchard grass, lawn fescues, sweet vernal grass, etc.) will typically result in more success than overseeding solid monocultures of invasive grasses (e.g. reed canary grass or rat tail fescue).

Installation and Management: Seed should be hand-scattered or mechanically broadcast over the existing grass sward in late summer through early winter.

Initial Site Preparation may consist of the following approaches:

1. OKAY: Seed can be simply scattered into existing grass in late summer. This approach will work best with repeated annual overseeding

2. BETTER: Mow the site with a thatching lawn mower blade in mid-summer to finely chop-up the clippings. Repeated mowing at the lowest possible height is ideal to both break down the clippings and thatch as much as possible, and to open up more bare ground between the existing grass. Then, in late-summer, the site can be overseeded.

3. BEST: Mow the site as low as possible in early fall with a bagging mower, or cut the field for hay, and remove the bagged clippings or hay bales to compost them away from the meadow. Then, overseed the area before significant grass re-growth occurs.

Following the initial first-year seeding, you should perform active ongoing-management of the meadow for best performance:

1. OKAY: Actively watch for and remove aggressive weed invaders such as Canada thistle and blackberry. Continue to overseed the meadow in late summer every year if possible, or at least every few years. Consider adding yellow rattle at a rate of 1-2 packets per 100-sqft to further reduce grass vigor and increase wildflowers.

2. BETTER: Actively watch for and remove aggressive weed invaders such as Canada thistle and blackberry. Mow the site with a thatching lawn mower blade in early fall to finely chop-up the clippings. Repeated mowing at the lowest possible height is ideal to both break down the clippings and thatch as much as possible, and to open up more bare ground between the existing grass. Continue to overseed the meadow immediately after mowing every year if possible, or at least every few years. Consider adding yellow rattle at a rate of 1-2 packets per 100-sqft to further reduce grass vigor and increase wildflowers.

3. BEST: Actively watch for and remove aggressive weed invaders such as Canada thistle and blackberry. Mow the site as low as possible in early fall with a bagging mower, or cut the field for hay, and remove the bagged clippings or hay bales to compost them away from the meadow (composting will allow any viable insect eggs or larva to emerge). Continue to overseed the meadow immediately after mowing every year if possible, or at least every few years. Consider adding yellow rattle at a rate of 1-2 packets per 100-sqft to further reduce grass vigor and increase wildflowers.

A Note on Expectations: Neglected and overgrown grassy areas may have decades of dormant viable grass and weed seed in the soil (hundreds of pounds per acre). Reintroducing native wildflowers into such spaces is a process, not a magic switch. The more active weeding, annual mowing, and overseeding invested in such sites, the more success you will have. Although results can take several years to become increasingly visible – with active weeding, annual mowing, and late season overseeding – most grasslands can be improved.

Makes moving your umbrella around a breeze.
Size: 100LBS
This is best idea in umbrella stands. Decent price. I love that the water intake/release is on the side. Many are on top of the stand. Doesn't leak. Easy to move around and easy to put together with the included tools. I have 2. One for a very heavy 10 x 6' umbrella, and the other for a very light 1/2 round umbrella. Works equally well for both. One tricky part the instructions don't include is that is parts F and J are 'in place' in the base and you need to remove them to re attach them to the cylinder, or what they refer to as the "stand pole". So, if you are looking for parts (and I did this twice), just remember you will find them on the underside of large plastic umbrella base. Both are black, and so not immediately apparent. Love that there are two locking wheels and they include an extra screw. IKEA could learn a few things here.

Hold my umbrella & watch this!
Size: 100LBS, Size: 100LBS
This product does a fantastic job of keeping our umbrella perfectly vertical. We previously had an all metal one which cost over $100 and fell over all of the time. I love the fact that it can be filled with sand and water to ensure it does flip over! We opted to just use water and it is performing flawlessly! The wheels make it easy to move or they can be locked in place. The assembly was very straightforward and took about 20 minutes. I would buy another one if we need it for our second umbrella.

Great stand for portability, concerns about durability
Size: 155LBS
This is great and lightweight for easy maneuverability when not filled. It is extremely sturdy when filled and the locks on the wheels keep it in place. I use this with a Purple umbrella and it's great. My one complaint is that the umbrella has developed a bit of a lean after several months of use so I don't think this will hold up in the long run.

Great Service and company
Size: 100LBS
This umbrella stand we purchased does the job our previous heavy metal stands could not do. It stands up to high winds where we were forever standing our umbrella back up with our old stands. When I filled the stand base up with water and sand I accidently locked one of the wheels and pushed it from my truck to our pool patio and ground one of the wheels down to its rim. I messaged Fruiteam asking if I could purchase a new wheel and they sent me a set of 4 no charge. Great product and great customer service!
