Question
Hey y'all I have a question, my wife planted a garden down in an area of the yard that typically grows quite thick and this year I noticed it didn't grow as thick. In certain spots I can see dirt between where it looks like the grass is thinned out. I'm only bothered in the sense that my kids run in the area and I don't want them getting hurt. She loves her garden and I don't really care about the yard in a it must be perfect kind of way just in a I want my kids to be able to run it without worry way. So I guess my question is did the garden thin out the grass and is there a kind I can put down that next year's garden won't turn into a dry zone they can't play there. Edit for clarification I'm not worried about the boys getting dirty but I also don't want the hassle of an acre of just dirt and rock. I'd like them to be able to run through the grass and have fun. And she plants typical garden things tomatoes and squash and cucumbers and such nothing exotic.
