Obelixx, yeah there are patches in the garden where it has taken to growing quite well already, but from some of the info I've read you can also successfully grow a moss lawn through treating the soil and regular maintainance. If nothing else its worth a go,
I was looking to get a lawn covering that doesn't require moving and have seen a variety of chamomile that looks quite nice. There's a huge variety of stuff out there. I think the Moss lawn is quite attractive and easy to maintain
Mint was from a small plant.. you can easily get it from any grocery store, or garden center for some of the more exciting varieties. Chocolate mint, pineapple mint, apple mint, etc. They are cheap and easy to propagate. Chamomile I started from seed, that was pretty easy.. but slow growing. If I were to do it again, I'd just buy a few plants, as it's in a pot. I just had some free seeds, which is why I went that direction. The seeds need light to germinate, so don't bury them. Make sure you get the correct variety too, if you're going for a lawn of it. Some types grow tall, other's stay short and creep along the ground instead.
Blue onion, sorted chocolate mint sounds interesting to be fair, I think I may try a mix of lawn alternatives and just see what looks nice and grows well and go from there.
Sorted that is definitely well worth a go. I'll see what's what and see where about he is touring, I remember a while back he had a TV series on BBC which was quite good, I've got the electric daisies and cucumamelons the are in his seed variety with Sutton's. Thanks
Cucamelons, hilarious! they took a while to get going, but I ended up with a pretty vine covered with them- only snag I was the only member of the family who liked to eat them. still they are so small you can eat a lot in one salad
keep going with the unusual, life is dull if you never try anything new.

Did you get the tea in seed form?
It was a bit of a joke anton.. mint tea, chamomile tea. Herbal tea.
Not proper black or green tea.
Sense moment or what hahaha. Life could be worse though lol.
First result for a Google Search is this fellow:

He does tours, so might be near you at some point this year. You could email and ask for a bit of advice as well.. wouldn't do any harm.
