Hand pulling is feasible on far more than small yards

I have 3.3 acres.

Hand pulling is feasible on far more than small yards

Why try and create a patch of wildflowers if you're just going to spray herbicides all over it though? It defeats the purpose of the wildflowers!

That was my point! I refused to use herbicide to give the illusion of natural. So called wildflowers are rarely natural. If they were, they'd already outcompete local flora and wouldn't need to be planted and maintained.

I also volunteer at the local nature preserve where everything is hand done. Not even power tools are used there. I'm well aware of what's needed for hand maintenance.
