Which plants [other than moss] could you use to make the softest velvety green surface to walk on?
Clover is soft & doesn’t require fertilizing because it snatches nitrogen out of the air, bringing this most essential fertilizer “down-to-earth” all at no cost to you. Clover’s also has the ability to aerate the soil, thus reducing concerns over soil compaction.It tolerates compacted soil better than lawn grass does. It’s longer roots, enabling it to access water at deeper levels. Clover attracts bees, so you’d have to be careful if you go bearfoot. http://landscaping.about.com/cs/lawns/a/… Here’s a forum discussing clover as an alternative to grass: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/… Also take into consideration that white clover is a choice food for deer and elk. http://www.gardenguides.co
