So lovely to see photos of your grassless lawn. I'm still dithering about whether to go for it with mine. I'd be replacing an existing lawn so I'd need to dig out all of the grass that's there first. Did you plant straight into the existing soil or did you add compost?
How did the plants fare over the winter? One species I sowed thinking I'd use it in the lawn was just stems over the winter, though it's leafing up now. Did your lawn get bare in patches at all?
Have you been walking on it and cutting it with the mower? Ours would get heavy traffic at times, so am worried the plants wouldn't stand this. Have you noticed any particularly tough ones you could recommend?
It would be great to hear some actual grassless lawn experiences!

Thanks (and sorry to bump an old thread!)
