Hi folks. The hellstrip in front of my apartment is, well, a hellstrip for sure, it's very sad looking with some patchy grass for dogs to pee on. Is there anything I could do to convert it into something nicer? I've been reading about guerilla planting but I don't really have the physical ability to go downstairs and water it, weed it etc like a full garden with shrubs and stuff, but I could probably get my partner to throw some water on it occasionally when they come home from work.

Probably asking for a miracle here, but is there anything I can just sprinkle over the area that'll take over and turn into something nice?

I've seen people get packets of native wildflower seeds and just toss them over the ground. Since they're native, they should do ok without much help from you.
