Thanks, Ann and Sandi, I'm lovin' this project so we'll see how it goes. It's just so much easier to work with Mother Nature than against her.
Lucky you that you could find some white star in the wild, Sandi. I love the look of that white star grass and am anxious to plant it. I was going to say, "as soon as the weather warms up". But it's 60ยบ today! I've got a year-round damp/wet area by the back fence since there is a seasonal stream behind it ... it will go there along with some rushes and a few other things. Any other suggestions for occasionally very wet areas? Not boggy, just a flow-through for a lot of water occasionally, especially during the Spring.
Ann, will you be starting from scratch, so to speak, or will you clear land?
Sod, ack. It was the norm in CA ... not the cheapest thing but still the norm ... followed closely behind by the notorious sod webworm happily munching out on all that $$ people had just put in.
