I'd love one of these.
Do you get a lot of weeds in it, and, how do you cut/trim yours ?

Easy to grow. Did have weeds at first but patiently pick them out. If you do a really good weedkill on your ground first it helps! I take cuttings and put them in water till it roots, I now have lots of little chamomile lawns. I don't mow my chamomile and only grow the short one. When it sends out runners everywhere I re plant them where it's needed most!

Do you walk on yours and also, what kind and type of soil do you have there ?

Walk, lie, sit!! It's very robust and springs back up after not too long. Put a rug down and still smell the strong scent through it.
We have cotswold brash here. I think it grows pretty much anywhere. I left my cuttings in a big tub of water over winter. Ice and snow and still it survived!

I've a small area that is a top lawn in a back garden that's on 3 levels and i've been wanting to lay a chamomile lawn there for 4 years ..... maybe i'll get round to doing it now ;-)

It's so easy! Good luck. If you are ever in Gloucestershire come by and I can give you loads of cuttings!
