Ground Cover

E-mail Print PDF

Back in April I posted a question on LPN looking for ideas and what to use for ground cover in a smal (7ftx12ft) bit of south facing garden with a small amount of foot fall. I experimented with some chamomile and clover.
Although the clover is winning the battle the chamomile has got a good foot hold and smells great - I hope it will survive the winter! I think either clover or chamomile on their own are fine for a small amount of foot traffic for anyone wishing to find an alternative to mowing a lawn.
