Planted 1 year ago almost to the day, this yard was a blank slate (w**dy turfgrass) and it’s now bursting with life and color. I did an experiment and sowed annuals for a green mulch instead of using wood chips. It has been a stressful experiment with the w**d seeds in the soil, but the perennials we planted as plugs have proven to be tenacious and stronger than the w**ds. There were some losses, but some of those could have happened anyway, there was a bit of a drought last fall after all. Next time I’m going to experiment on space less than 1000 SF! 😬
