No,no I'm sorry i just took the picture it's dormant.The problem is that the tree's are on that terrace (hill) whole family has always called it a terrace because our land is terraced off into sections,flat then a little hill,the weather over many many years has washed that top terrace badly and I was looking for something to help if even the slightest bit,until a wall can be made or something to stop the washing.We have started at the bottom building up the ground & planting grass.Our hopes are to work our way up to the terrace,& level it up some,grass will hold some soil.But i thought if i could put compost maybe between the roots & plant drought tolerant with shallow roots.

Chelle,I use compost it's a forest compost that i buy by the truck load from a guy who lives out here in the boonies with us.Is that what your talking about? Also we don't rake leaves we mow them with the lawn mower. It really helps the leaves break down faster & i figured that would help our wind blown ground.Anything to help amend my yard.
