    What do you think about muehlenbeckia (creeping wire vine, maidenhair ) to replace grass? Any idea about 'why you shouldn't' as opposed to 'good idea' -I cannot grow grass on one side of the house -- just can't do it. and I want to cover up the bare dirt and this little fella(gal) looks like it might work. Some info suggests full sun but others say can take shade -- shade isn't the issue but it is awfully dry where I have in mind to get it started.

    Also it will tolerate a good shearing to rejuvinate - -- Do you think a mower will work for this? The walkway that I have in mind is not located anywhere that I would be concerned about it getting out of control -- it runs parallel to the woods.

    Thoughts?
    Thanks!
