I'm thinking that I will lay down a big sheet of landscape fabric, place a wooden frame, and fill it with a few inches of potting mix. Then I will sprinkle on a mix of seeds for a guild of insect attracting plants, to flower from early spring to late fall. I could do either an annual or a
perennial mix. When folks came to buy plants, I would cut them squares of "sod". They couldn't roll it out like sod, but it would have a similar consistency, and the "plugs" could be spaced out to eventually grow together and cover the space. (They'd need to be planted, of
course, not laid on the soil surface.)
To keep it together, I'd have to either: include an aggressive running plant like yarrow, or plant an annual grass which I could kill before planting the desired seeds, leaving a mat of
roots and stems.
Would this work, and, would there be a market?
Maybe I could try other guilds as well, edibles etc.
