Groundcovers

I am trying hard to diversify the ground covers. even if it isn;t a "food forest" it can;t hurt to increase the species in an area.

it took a helper, even after soaking, to get spaces dug in our clay. Thank you, Lindsey.then 1/2 cart of compost ( for 4 plants!) was nestled under and around each plant, and the looser clay mixed in the top with more compost.these "pockets" can be done under trees, in clay banks, etc.

the liriope was here when we moved in; we added the patio and retaining walls, hostas and grasses.
grape hyacinths along the stairs, and we've attempted to grass seed several times. This time, using the compost "pockets" I added hardy geranium, ajuga, and a gaura. Wish us luck!
