Abstract
An improvement in a method of propagating, and an article useful in association with, or produced by, the method of propagating. Plants are produced in mats by steps including: providing a bottom net made of a material that is pervious to moisture, positioning a sheet of a fabric, depositing a layer of planting medium on said fabric, spreading viable wildflower seed over said medium, moistening said medium and said seeds, germinating seeds in the medium, such that roots of seedlings from said seeds intermesh with the fabric forming a sod mat; wherein the bottom net is sufficiently pervious to permit essentially unimpeded root contact with earth below the bottom net.

- at a grower location, providing a bottom net pervious to moisture, positioning a sheet above the net, depositing a layer of planting medium on said sheet, broadcasting viable flower seed so as to facilitate growth of seedlings from the seed, moistening said seeds, and germinating seeds in the medium, such that roots of the seedlings from said seeds intermesh to form a sod mat, wherein the bottom net is sufficiently pervious to permit essentially unimpeded root contact with earth below the bottom net, and harvesting said sod mat;
- transporting the mat to a user's garden site;
