The back of our house gets very little sun. There is a small wooded hill area behind our home. This blocks most of the sun. We have never been able to grow anything back there, not even grass. The ground is full of moss.
I started a shade garden, close to the house, bleeding hearts and hostas and they are doing well. The area that should be lawn is moss. If I were to start a lawn, with a shade mix seed do I need to dig up the moss? Should I till the ground? It is hard packed, rocky soil. I want to do it right. My dh never did, just throwing the seed down, not preparing the soil in anyway. It is the reason why we do not have a lawn back there in the first place. He will not listen to me or any of my suggestions so this is something I will need to do on my own. I will do it and tell him it is done and not to go back there and mess with anything. Dh does not have a green thumb~
I have a friend who has a tiller and would come over and help me with this. I want to do this right. I am tired of looking out the window and seeing bare ground, now with moss
I also would like to trim the trees back a bit to let some sun through. I have asked dh to do this...hmmm. we have lived here 15 years, do you think he will ever do it? I will see what my friend can help me with...
Maybe this was more of a rant than a question seeking post~sorry about that.
