I tore up the front yard (48 x 23') completely. Took up all the vegata=

and put down 2 inches of topdress soil. I need to "temporarily" plant
something in it while I work on the hardscape and before I get in all t=

scrubs and periennials. It will eventually be a garden area with no gr=
ass,
only divided planting areas for scrubs, bushes, periennials, bulbs, mul=

ground cover and stepping stones. Will eventually have a bench and a r=

garden box, too.

Bottom line, I don't want to plant a grass that will put me back to the=

original extremely hard work of removing grass to plant the final item.=
But
need something to cover over the next year or two to keep it from becom=
ing a
muddy, weedy mess. Thanks
