I have a fairly large area of rough ground so I decided to cover it
with wood chips. I am using wood chips for horse bedding so I have
plenty and it keeps on coming. Fungi has started to grow there which is
attractive but I am looking for something else that is preferably
evergreen and would ground cover quickly. Any bright ideas anyone, the
area is under trees but getting a pretty dappled light.
Does anyone want any for use as mulch etc.

There are loads of different Vincas which would probably do that job
but my favourite is the not-too-thuggish Vinca minor Gertrude Jekyll.
If it doesn't spread enough for you, you could look at some of the
others, like V oxyloba but they really do spread!
