What would you grow on your lawn instead of traditional grass?

@valasdarkholme6255 2 месяца назад

Creeping thyme or Irish moss. Something low to the ground that won't die from the dog running around or hide pests like ticks.

@@valasdarkholme6255 Great choices! and good to know they are dog-proof and ticks don't like them!

@valasdarkholme6255 2 месяца назад

@@garden-club I dunno if they're dog-proof, but dog-resistant at least. Some of the other groundcovers I was looking into said they didn't hold up well to foot traffic in comparison to normal lawn-grass, and I know how hard a dog is on a normal lawn.

@@garden-club From what I understand the ticks prefer to hide in taller grasses, so the short ones help keep your yard tick-free.

First lots of good and beautiful options, then #9, the horrors: green plastic carpets and mulch deserts with weed fabric below. Mulch has a lot of legitimate uses, but not abuse for barren spaces. Mulch should suppress weeds itself, not have incomposible plastic rags below it, which are a hell to get out again, when roots have grown through them.

Agree! I'm also not a fan of plastic or fake grass, but I wanted to make the video as complete as possible. Still, I do prefer artificial grass over a fully tiled garden ;)

@randomgrinn 19 дней назад

Stone is HUGE maintenance, you have to replace the underlayment every 2-4 years. That's why I'm looking for alternatives.

50% zones were not included. Incomplete homework.

I checked out artificial grass for my yard. 7500sqft was quoted at 70k dollars installed 😂

@Tammi333 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the information. Would have been nice if you would have provided the zones that all these can survive in though, because now I have to look them up individually to figure that out.

@garden-club 6 месяцев назад

Happy to hear the video is helpful! Great tip, I didn't think about that. I looked up all the plants I've mentioned and created a list that will hopefully help you and other interested people! Clover: Generally, clover (such as white clover, Trifolium repens) is adaptable to a wide range of zones, typically from USDA zones 3 through 10. Thyme (Thymus spp.): Thyme is quite hardy and can grow in USDA zones 5 through 9. Chamomile: Both German (Matricaria chamomilla) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) usually thrive in USDA zones 4 through 9. Oregano (Origanum vulgare): Oregano is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9. Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca): This ornamental grass is suited for USDA zones 4 through 8. Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum): It typically grows well in warmer climates, suitable for USDA zones 9 through 11. Pampas Grass (Cortaderia selloana): Pampas grass prefers warmer climates and is suited for USDA zones 7 through 11. Ferns: The hardiness of ferns varies greatly depending on the species. However, many are suitable for USDA zones 4 through 8. Some varieties can tolerate colder or warmer climates. Hostas: Hostas are quite versatile and can grow in USDA zones 3 through 9, depending on the variety.

I agree, they only did part of the homework, the 2nd half must of got eaten by the dog.

@FinnBjerke 20 дней назад

I had TBE so tick is a thing I fear, how can I have a tick free dog freindly garden using the interesting alternatives you mention?

@garden-club 20 дней назад

Sorry to hear that! Regardless of which ground cover you choose, it is important to keep it short and neat to deter ticks (they like tall vegetation - just like leaf litter, because they like moist areas). You can also use cedar mulch for its natural repellent properties. And Lavender and Rosemary are tick-repellent plants. You could plant these around your lawn. Additionally, a fence can help keep out wildlife that may carry ticks. Hope this helps! :)

Which is best for Las Vegas Nevada with temperatures that exceeded 112°F and has to be full sun drought resistant

@garden-club 3 месяца назад

For Las Vegas I'd recommend Oregano, Blue Fescue, and Pampas Grass. They are all drought-resistant and thrive in full sun :)

@luckystrike656 2 месяца назад

Basically other then clover, there is no alternative. Japanese stone garden isn't really the same, is it? the perennials you showed are half meter tall, artificial grass?
