The Messier Bits: What to do when your lawn keeps dying?
This area was always ugly by mid-summer, it had the worst lawn on the property, burnt to a crisp and full of weeds.
I used the summer dry methods on it and now it is a truly beautiful and interesting garden.
For more information about this method of gardening see
The typical lawn by late summer.
Mulched and planted mainly with poa cita.
Autumn of year one with sedum beginning to show.
Year two and the sedum, artemesia Valerie Finnis and echium are really working well together.
Bupleurum is a wonderful feature of this area.
Early autumn in year three. I tried to keep this planting palette simple and strong.
