thoroughly working everything over with the lawn fucker upper 9000 before soil and seed spreading turns out to be pretty exhausting, but it‘s probably the time to do it

Unfortunate that for the shade situation anything but grass and maybe some tolerant herbs (hi Mint) is probably out

@halcy Somebody in the past planted mint somewhere around this house and every time I mow the lawn I get hit with random clouds of mint.

@halcy If you plant it it will NOT go away ever.

@WAHa_06x36 so i have read. I will put it into small pots that I will then sink. which supposedly should contain it. Failing that, hey, lots of mint.

@lritter the type of mint is „the one mint seed the hardware store gardening section had“

it‘s in a pot that is in the ground now, hope something grows

@lritter sounds like exactly what I want. That and for grass to grow back so that I have less of a mud zone
