Date: 14 November 2010
Presenter: Neville Passmore

For those without much room for a lawn, Neville features lawn alternatives ideal for creating a visual effect of grass without the maintenance.

Neville's Tips and Facts

• Lawn substitutes can be a great alternative in small courtyards.
• Plants such as dichondra or kidney weed grows in full sun or light shade and will take some foot traffic but would not handle a solid game of football.
• If you are looking for pretty flowers lippia grows in full sun and can survive one drink per week in summer.
• Ground hugging herbs such as Thyme can make superb lawns and when you walk on them the delicious aroma of the sea wafts up to your nostrils.
• For a hint of mint Corsican mint keeps a low profile and must have shade.
