Default Hill side planting


"DM" wrote in message ...
I have a hill side that I have planted flowers and put rocks. I have
mulched the area to keep the weeds out. The problem is that the mulch

keeps
running off the side of the hill when it rains and into the stones below

and
out into the street. What is the best solutions to keep the weed from

growing
and not cause such a problem?
Any solutions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks GSM


You need a groundcover to hold the soil, stabilize the slope and reduce
erosion. A good groundcover will also help to suppress weeds and retain soil
moisture too. Tell us where you are, what the light conditions are and we
can make specific suggestions.
