The yard and where the woods around it were look like a bomb hit after the pine trees were cut. It's starting to get depressing. I have no energy to do anything due to a medical condition and need to improve things. A neighbor cleaned the front yard up but I think he's done all he's going to do. I would like to just throw some grass or clover seed on the dirt and let it green up and cover up the small branches, leaves, pine needles, sawdust, etc. and let them melt back into the soil.
My rancher friend recommends Bermuda grass, but you have to take the dirt and I can't do that. There's nothing else we could think of that could be planted now. He said Dutch clover would be good but I'd need to wait until January.
The zone is on the line of 7 and 8. This won't be mowed and would probably be over seeded with clover later, maybe. Any ideas?
Clarification: This not yard grass and not real ground cover - just something to grow a few inches (quickly, hopefully) and make the ugly debris-covered soil look tolerable.
