Out-competing a existing lawn, with Lawn Camomile,Thyme, Clover

[mischief]

Chamomile wont out compete these.
I tried a chamomile lawn and spent hours hand weeding it before I gave up.

Hi Dzionik, nice photos and the meadow looks a very pleasant place to walk. What meadow plants to you have growing that you put in? Looks like you have dandelion growing wild already. What sort of soil do you grow on in Serbia?

[Dzionik]

Thanks, it is magical place which gives me much needed comfort and pleasure in this hard times. I put just a few herbs, thyme, sage, wild onions, the rest is wild, lots of mint, chicory ..... There is a long list ... This is heavy clay.
Enjoy the little birds, for which I get up at dawn :-)

Great video, you can here the serenity of the place, very relaxing. cheers

Yes I know what you mean. I planted it in a keyhole garden bed between stepping stones, it smells great, takes a little foot traffic, but doesn't recover all that well from foot traffic. Any oxalis or couch species still manage to poke their heads through the thick mat of chamomile lawn.

There's always a chance, depending on the year, weather and who knows what else.
This is a natural meadow in my orchard, every year is different. Sometimes I can find six types of clover on one square meter, and sometimes only grass. For now very little grasses and great diversity. Very stable and productive. It produces all fertility needed for orchard and vegetables.
This other peace of land have perhaps ten species of plants along with grasses. So I think there is much space for something else particularly perennials like mints, artichoke, asparagus, clovers etc.

Thank you for inspiring me.
