I've got a very small yard space in front of my condo. In order to save on mowing costs, HOA board put red mulch in these spaces...it's just awful. Looks good, I guess, but it blows everywhere, I track it in my home, etc. Anyway, all this is to ask if this "Lamb's Quarter" (or whatever the name might be) would grow over and hide the red mulch? If not, does anyone have a suggestion for a ground cover I might use to accomplish this? Thank you so much!

Looks like lamb's quarters--very invasive but it is edible.
Don't know the name but yes, very invasive and I consider it a weed and pull it out. CONTINUOUSLY
Just searched and it is lambs quarters. Supposed to be very tasty. Since I get so much of it, I just may search how to use it.
