Convert a hellstrip into clover (or something else)? (slrpnk.net)

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?

Late to the post but, see if you have a local wildones.org chapter. One of the ones near me has a great website where you can buy seeds and plants in spring and fall. I did also redo the wiki last month so you may be able to find resources in the resources by state area. If you find any good ones for your area PLEASE let me know, I love adding new ones.

Edit to add, the wiki link goes to the slrpnk.net wiki on lemmy NOT reddit. I know a lot of people don't want to go to reddit so I want to clarify.

    ooo thank you!! I had a peek through and found a link that brought me to even more resources in my area. Turns out there's a few different groups around here working with native plants and offering them up for sale!
