Has anybody used chamomile as a living mulch / ground cover? I am thinking of growing it and then planting into it, so it would be useful to know other's experiences of working with it. I am based in the Northern UK.
I use chamomile on my garden paths. I have never planted into it but it has been a resilient barefoot friendly path planting. About the end of august it is dwindling from the heat but has been an effetive weed barrier. I've mentioned earlier I purchase seeds in bulk as an organic tea from amazon and have found that to be the most cost effective way to get seeds.
Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.
Hey Robert! I have my organic tea/seeds now. Do you have any paths that spend springtime being significantly soggy? Most of my paths do that. I hope to establish a gound cover after the soggy season is over...
How did it pan out Chris? My chamomile just pops up by itself here and there on half a hectare and slowly grows over winter, not minding quite hard freezes either.. I plan on throwing some different varieties out tomorrow. Trying to cross the local variety with bigger sweeter commercial ones.
