Yes, it is the ground ivy. I have a little ... I especially have Veronica of Persia ...

This is one of the candidate plants for my tests of culture under cover alive ... So I would like to multiply it.

Hello,
Ground ivy indeed, I am also invaded. No longer in competition with grasses, it takes advantage. The hay does not stop it, on the contrary, it crosses it and "weaves" a network of stems which take root every 5 / 10cms, which makes its control almost impossible. If in the lawn or meadow it is only a few cms high, when it takes power, it reaches nearly 15cms, which means that only certain vegetables are not bothered (leeks for example).
This year, I make a test of competition with ocas of Peru which are very covering. Wait and see

I haven't done it yet, just tasted it during an "open house" at a permaculture farm. From what I remember, like pesto with basil, but you pick off the tips of the stems, including flowers. You grind in olive oil, a little salt ... You can make it smoother by putting a few cashews in the blender ...

A variant: with young shoots of plantain lanceolate! (less gouty, I find)

I post here this comment posted on Youtube:

What I like in the methods that Didier explains is that it is logical and obvious; The less we touch the natural work of nature the more the balance is done. I started my garden in April 2017, before I knew nothing about gardening. My soil has already improved in a year, it was also a meadow. Everything I planted in 2017 has literally exploded, amazing neighbors and friends who imitate me now. We had a great year 2017 I agree, I even had watermelons in Burgundy! Small, 2 3 kg, under tunnel recess but without having to water them enormously, sweet as I've never tasted (before I did not like the watermelons trade because too bland), I can not wait to remake I still have water in my mouth. Melon idem. Tomatoes: incredible production without carving cocktails in the heart of beef! My bright red pumpkins were ripe mid-August! A lot of advance on a lot of plants, and in any case no delay and very few missed. My Eggplants F1 (the only F1 in the garden) have not given anything and it remained puny mdrr! No watering during hot July and August 2017 except under watermelon / melon tunnels once a week only. My neighbors without mulching watered every two to three days. I had not less than 20 cm of STRAW 2017 season, this year it is 20 cm of FOIN which is in place since November, I notice that it degrades much better than the straw, it makes me already humus when the straw did not degrade very well because too rich in carbon and risk of nitrogen hunger in the long term. Crushed wood and dead leaves are reserved for rosaceae (strawberry, raspberry, apple, pear, cherry, peach, etc.) that are part of their biotope. A good example of a significant improvement is a walnut that I have at home (40 years of age), he had suffered very big fires that were made close to him over several years. Half of this tree had never recovered. It had branches only on one side, on the other side it's been more than 10 years that nothing was repulsed and its bark is cracked, open in some places. My 200m² garden starts at its foot (damaged side where these lights were made). This very bad half is now rebuilding new branches, and they are going well; It must mycorrhize seriously under my hay and decaying branches so that it goes back to that point :) In short, better than words, try, Hydraks. If you do not do anything next to counterbalance this technique it will work I am more than convinced. Do everything to attract and promote biodiversity. Imitate nature, it's a treat to see that all the pieces fit into each other with an implacable logic. I have a very critical, logical and very scientific mind. My comments may be accompanied by photos I took from the beginning to the end of the 2017 season. I have only two reasons to take this time to explain my result: passion and transmission;) Thanks to Didier, among others, I have been for a year :) My experience and my trials are just beginning.

With me, it does not settle as much! Do I put more hay, more compact (by unrolling)? Isn't that the same "variety" ??? So much so that I only have a little, especially where I haven't put in any hay. And that I think about multiplying it for my growing trials under cover ...
