Hello. I would like to grow a moss lawn or a clover lawn. Does anyone
have any experience or ideas with this? Also, is there a good place in
town to buy clover seeds? Thank you.

The point is if you look around you don't see many moss or clover lawns in
Austin. Best to stick with something that is better adapted to the area.

Well I see clovers growing all over the place. I think clovers would
grow much better than grass would in my yard.

It could very well be oxalis that I'm thinking of. Is there any way to
get seeds of the local variety of oxalis for planting? It seems that
they could grow well without much water or sun, which is the state of
my back yard.

The seed pods are numerous on the few I allow to live. ;-)
I tolerate them as a garden weed since they are a legume.

Never thought about planting a lawn with them. Will they survive doggy
pounding?

I'm still looking for a good border collie proof ground cover. :-(

Hmm I think they dry up in the summer when it gets hot.



Mine don't, but they get watered.

Crushed granite.

snork Thanks. ;-)

Guess I could spray paint it green.......

Seriously tho', we are considering re-configuring the hotwire and
restricting her stomping grounds a bit.

Darn dogs. I have a Great Dane, and when it's muddy out, he makes *divots*
when he rains....the dog paths in the yard look like cow trails. So I
sectioned off a third of the back yard for me, and left the rest for the
dogs. Now they go out of their way to poop on MY part. @#$@$?!
