though it is only a small sliver, I have become someone who has a lawn, and hence must contend with the concept of a Vertikutiermaschine
I now have The Equipment, time to get to it
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 +1 for moroccan 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

@halcy mine is alive and sprawling for 3 years now
@lritter sounds like exactly what I want. That and for grass to grow back so that I have less of a mud zone
