At the end of the growing season, mazus and English pennyroyal had produced twice the dry weight of creeping thyme and veronica, with companion grass, strawberry clover, and Kentucky-31 being intermediate.
Mazus and English pennyroyal gave the earliest complete coverage of the soil surface, while companion grass, creeping thyme, and Kentucky-31 never reached complete coverage in the 14 weeks of the experiment.
The competition from the grapevine resulted in a 20% reduction in the growth of the ground cover, and this effect was seen across all ground covers.
