I need help about what to do on my steep bank.
It is 50 ft long, 25 ft high and about a 22 degree slope.. Right now it
is covered with weeds and grass and is a real pain to mow. I
was thinking of laying down landscape cloth and covering that with
rip-rap (big rocks) Any and all advice appreciated

I just let mine go commando. If it's green it stays.
I gave up mowing and planting ground covers on it a few years ago.
It grows to about 3 feet tall and some of it provides some colorful
flowers. You can buy some annual wildflower seed and throw that on the
hill for a surprise next spring. I think I would like to have the colors
rather than the hill looking like the side of a levee.
Since I started to let it go naturally, my neighbor across the street
started to do the same.
