Has anyone tried/succeeded in growing a chamomile/thyme/similar type lawn?
Any tips?

I tried but it failed,I think my clay soil did not help and i also tried to make chamomile seat but that didt work either.
Take a look at buntysblog.co.uk. She has made a video showing how it's done.
It looks like one big headache to me.
There's not much other than grass that you can walk/play/sit on and still have a lawn.
Perhaps these other plantings shouldn't be called lawns.

Does anyone grow the 'micro clover', it was the new big thing a few years ago, don't hear anything about it anymore.
is that the one that got tinier and tinier until nobody could see it?
Peat Ballan posted a thread called herbal lawns, he was starting a project the same as yours, you could have a look at that or message him to see how he got on.
I think so, I came in late and missed it altogether

That's beautiful Sara, a work of art. Not what I'd call a lawn though.
SilverFairy has never come back on this one.Don't know if she wants something lovely like this or something she can walk on.

You just need to remember that you must press Enter when pasting links, Sara
It makes it easier but if you highlight and alternate click you get 'go to http.....'
