There is no need to control it. It's a beautiful meadow plant - I love it for its colour, as well as the structure it adds to ...

Re: 7.5 acre meadow, Quoditch, Holsworthy, Devon
Hilary, I beg your pardon - you're quite correct. In my excitement looking it up I got two trapezoid-shaped fields mixed up. They're actually 800m apart. Still could be a good site though. Thanks.
