Fuck grass. Here's my overseeding mixture to turn my lawn over. (lemmynsfw.com)

So I bought some wildflower mixture, and they recommend to thin/blend with sand so you can see where you broadcast and go see it easier. So I took one step further and added clover as well.

I have 2 wildflower mixes, 10gs of each, I know it’s probably not enough to get a dense lawn, but that’s also why I thinned it clover that I’ve already started turning the lawn over to.

So I took about 1/2 of one of wildflower packets and mixed it with 1 scoop of clover seed and 5 scoops of play sand. Gonna broadcast my entire front lawn, ther grass isn’t too tall yet, although I should mow to the lowest setting first.

Anyways follow along for updates on this adventure!

Dealing with water is part of why I'm letting the moss take over.

Clover can handle a lot of water before it gets annoyed. And a fair bit of drought.

Also fixes nitrogen. Idk if shady spots with moss need it, but lawns generally need nitrogen.
