I tried to turn a big section of my garden into a wildflower meadow… but it turned into a weed-filled mess. After sowing mixed wildflower seeds from a few places, including a local discount store, I ended up with thousands of unwanted plants — mainly pigweed (amaranthus), which I’d never had before. In this video, I show the before-and-after of the area and what went wrong. Can I fix it with weed membrane? This is part of my ongoing garden project, so if you like real DIY projects with honest results, subscribe for updates!

About me:
I'm Aiden and I'm documenting what was supposed to be my barn conversion, which has now ended up being a new build. I don't have a trade, I just have a go and I'll be doing lots of work myself. This is the boring bit in grand designs that you don't get to see. Subscribe and follow along to find out how our future home turns out.
