Meadow coaching on phone 30 min

Call first and buy later – or the other way around. If you want to be called, purchase a consultation and make a note about it!

The consultation will be more effective if you email a couple of pictures of the surroundings in advance, and preferably a few detail shots of the area you have in mind. Ideally, from different seasons, and it's best if the area is uncut in midsummer. Some close-up shots (like in the examples) showing the different leaves are very helpful. A picture of the actual soil, a spade’s depth, is also good!

It’s incredibly meaningful to advise on meadows and biodiversity. However, there are now so many calls that I feel I need to start charging for it.

The calls almost always end with a sense of relief and security, as uncertainties are cleared up. The goals become clearer, and it’s easier to determine what to prioritize, etc.

I feel confident in my consulting because I:

- Have many years of experience in mowing and hay handling with scythes and rakes.
- Sowed my first large, designed meadow back in 2008.
- For many years have managed and observed how small garden meadows and the meadow in my own garden have developed.
- Continuously develop myself and learn through my many nerdy contacts and connections with those who are completely new to this.
- Really enjoy talking on the phone and finding a reasonable level for your plans that matches the effort you're willing to put in.
- Am not fixated on using hand tools; I have significant experience in how various large machines can help in the process when relevant.
- Believe that good purchased seeds can often be the best possible solution (though some always believe that purchased seeds are wrong).
- Have extensive knowledge of species (though there are those who know more...).
- Have been using scythe-cut grass for mulching and grass composting since 2008 and have seen many others do the same with slightly different approaches.
