Grass in muddy garden
Hi
I have a garden of 2 types, the top is fantastic - good top soil and
well drained. The bottom is solid clay with about 4" of topsoil on it.
I seeded last year and on the top have some lovely ornamental grass.
However, the bottom is a mud bath, not surprising really, it develops
10' by 4' puddles that take about a week to drain. The grass did take
initially, but unfortunately it tears up really easily under foot. I
have improved the drainage on the bottom by digging a sump and pumping
away the excess water, but although there is no standing water now, it
still gets saturated.
Can anyone recommend a grass mix for these wet conditions, that may
survive and even flourish in these type of conditions?
thanks
Andy
