Allotments 4 All

Whilst digging my pond a meter or two of lawn got covered by soil for a long time (2+ months) and is probably dead.
Could I plant some meadow plants there?  It does walked on a bit - mainly at weekends, it is too small for my son to play there (even before the pond)

I cant see why not its likly that yes the grass is dead so you might need to renew.
