Shady, Damaged Lawn
 

Hi

Can any one suggest a lawn alternative to a corner of our garden? At
present the lawn is damaged and wet on one corner, it gets very little sun
and have never really looked that great. We have chalky soil and really
want to avoid paving the area.

Sounds like it might make a bog garden - or even a pond (no sun = no
algae). Plenty of shade-loving plants will grow there.

Or there's always gravel, rocks -- or this stuff:

We had a very scanty lawn under some shade trees, and I
planted violets and pennyroyal around the trunks. Both escaped
into the lawn and made a fine and mow-able groundcover. Smelled
good, too.
