Quick Ground Cover

An effective way to cover a section with ground cover is shown here. First find a discarded pan. The one here is a medium-sized frying pan. A lighter weight pan might work as well since you need to punch a hole in it. Fill the pan with whatever ground cover you want to use. The dig a hole in the section you want to cover. Place the pan even with the soil. Keep watered for a while and then ignore it.
 

 
This pot was planted fairly late last year. I am removing it to go to another place and filling the hole. I am using creeping Jenny, but any ground cover with a tendency to send out runners would work. Ajuga or lamiium would be good.
