| How do we get control of red mud runoff? Our house was just constructed at the bottom of a very steep slope, with steep slope from the house down to the lake. Sunny slopes with little shade, irrigation system is now installed. What groundcovers are suggested to stop erosion? |
| Erosion control includes plants such as hortizonal junipers and and ground-hugging plants such as wooly thyme. These will take a few years to fill in, though, so you may want to protect the slope with weed-barrier. Your local Cooperative Extension office will have publications dealing with erosion control, as well as a list of plants suitable for your growing region. You'll find them listed in the white pages under County offices. Best wishes with your new landscape! |
