Yeah ? You like the creeping Charlie ?! What more can you tell me about it ? It does seem to leave the soil richer.... it's in the mint family right ? What about mints directly ?

I can recommend creaping charlie in any areas that are shaded. If the area is
being mowed the grasses will be slowly crowded out.

I've got a dozen fruit trees, with no bermuda grass problems, in medium
soil with a fair amount of organic matter and an unusually high water
table. 2 apples, 2 peaches, 1 cherry, 2 figs, 2 plums, 1 mulberry, and
several fruiting shrubs, eleagnus, feijoa, elderberry.

To rephrase my question, has anyone had success using ornamental lilies or
other bulbs as grass suppressers in guilds or otherwise that aren't
necessarily as pungent as alliums?

Thanks,
