Hi,

Am not much of a gardener , but feel there must be a better way, am looking
for a grass alternative for a shared back garden. The area is damp and the
soil is subsoil pure clay, currently there are the remains of a lawn which
is loosing to sphagnum moss , looking for something that gives ground cover,
low maintenance could be played on by children

I've read that you can use white clover. No idea what it looks like in
winter, though.
