Hi, I'm in a bit of a pinch - We bought a new house, and the back was overgrown with weeds and grass. Had it taken out and some grading and drainage done, as there was water pooling under the foundation. Have to get new ground cover established before the rains can ruin the new grading and drainage! We have pets, so I don't want to kill the grass seeds with something toxic, and I don't have time to cover the whole area with plastic, as the new stuff has to get going. Any ideas?

If I just sow the Creeping Thyme seeds, and let them come up, can I control the grass, too, and eventually let it be squeezed out by the Thyme?

p.s. I have a back injury, so I can't be pulling weeds constantly. :-)
