It's not toxic either, technically edible and I've even heard that some farmers turn it into a poultice for cuts.

It think astro turf or maybe a sort of sandbox might work best.
Will definitely check out plantain. Thinking monoculture is unlikely to be the solution, but also don't want it to look patchy and lame...I really just need to go chat with someone at a garden centre, but simple errands aren't so simple these days with COVID and a toddler.

I've been looking into Irish/Scotch Moss...probably night the right answer, but intriguing. Anyone played around with those locally?

I've also been noticing a lot of different plants/grasses/weeds used to fill barren spaces beside sidewalks...have a few pics on my phone I'll have to try to upload. There's one particular short grass I've noticed that seems really hearty, but not sure how well it would do in shade.
