Culture:-
Sow early spring and early autumn. Successive sowings can be made throughout the growing season as long as water can be applied to the growing area.
Choose a weed free site of low fertility. Do not use fertiliser. Prepare a weed free and firm seed bed, thoroughly mix the mixture and apply evenly over the surface and lightly rake in. Sowing from early March to September roll or tread the soil lightly to firm soil around seeds, do not roll if sowing late autumn or early winter. It is best not to water the seed bed unless you can maintain the moisture level for at least 2 weeks, if this is not possible leave the watering to natures way, the seeds will then germinate when all the right conditions are met.
Ideally it is best to divide up the sown area so the tortoise will graze one area while the other areas have time to recover, do not let the vegetation be  overgrazed otherwise some herbs/wildflowers may not recover. If vegetation becomes too tall shear or strim the area. If you only have a small garden consider growing the mixture in a tray or punnets just like cress from the supermarkets.
