Mowing is out of the question. It's like a tornado came through. Each square foot has broken branches of all sizes, pine needles, leaves, bark, and dirt clumps. A rake would do no good. A tractor would be too expensive. Clover would be a pretty good solution but I have to wait until winter for that. What I want is a heavy grass that can be planted in the summer and will take off without the ground having to be raked. And, that will cover the organic debris and let it break down until the clover can be used, if it's still needed.
Pretty much any grass will need a clear/raked space to take hold and only vines will cover organic debris.
RgG's idea of just letting it weed up on it's own is by far the easiest one to implement and won't look any worse than trying to plant grass seeds amongst organic debris.
I take it you're going with a hard "No" on my wildflower idea, which would have the same net effect as rgG's suggestion except with the added bonus of guaranteed pretty blooms?
No, I'm going with a hard "Yes" with the wild flowers. I just filed it away in my head and forgot to respond.
Cool! An extra added bonus with those mixes is that sometimes you get an additional variety or two that aren't pictured on the bag.

My brother is going to try burning some of it.
