I plan to sell my house in 2009. The grass, front
and back, is a bad mix of whatever. Rather than
having it torn up and relaced with rolls of grass,
I'd like to tear it up and replace it with plugs
of groud cover. I am completely ignorant of ground
cover and would appreciate suggestions.

how big an area? groundcovers can take awhile to spread.
my preference would be for thyme, or chamomile. my yard has a
lot of wild strawberry, bugle (both green & purple), & um,
plantain. most people think plantain is really ugly, but the
honeybees love it & the chickens can't destroy it (ok, most
people don't have chicken-proof as a groundcover criteria).
have you looked at Steppables.com?
