I'm not from Alaska, but I'm researching a way to replace some of my traditional lawn with other plants or plant mixtures that need much less mowing and attention, while still growing short enough to enjoy walking on. I have found a couple of plant mixes that include dwarf rye, english daisies, dwarf yarrow, strawberry clover and microclovers. Has anyone here used such a mixture? Since it blooms, I'm thinking it is probably a bee magnet, but wanted some input before I try it out. I'm wondering how I would go about replacing existing grasses - will these mixtures will overseed and take over. . . or would I have to kill off the existing grasses.
All info is appreciated.
