Hello,

I have a hillside lot in a semi-rural setting (SW Ohio area) that is
eroding rather rapidly. Does anyone have a suggestion of a
low-maintenance plant that would slow or stop erosion while being
resistant to pollution from the adjacent highway?
Low-maintenance 'cuz I don't live there and can't drive 50 miles every
week to mow & etc.

Used to see a lot of crown vetch along highways. In my experience it gives
way to other vegetation but initial use seems to keep down erosion.
