Pea gravel or clover are better for the dogs and the environment. Pea gravel would require some form of brick bordering which can be annoying but it would at least hold up to dogs and drain water. Clover is way tougher than grass. Can also just mulch or leave it as dirt lol.
It's not so much the plant being put down as the way the tip soil handles water drainage.
But yeah I need to start with gravel. Got clover going in rest of it just certain patches in drainage areas that keep failing or falling out once established.
Or I need to dig super deep and replace a lot of soil ๐ญ
You can mulch/compost grass clippings and leaves. It takes a while and has to be regularly turned, but it's doable. Solar Punk instances have plenty of usable information, if you're interested.
To help with growth or help with drainage?
Currently mulching the already, or when too tall added to the community composing.
Issue really fighting is were on converted farm land and the layers are fighting each other when super wet
Both! This community has helped my own 3D community solve some of their challenges!
I'll have to take a look
Best of luck! It's probably going to be work, either way. I hope you find an agreeable solution!
