Joe Pye Weed on Culvert Side?

Yet more research for the coming season and yard improvements. I'm trying to decide just what I can plant on the side of the drainage culverts that run along the side and back of my property. The wonders of living on the skits of a subdivision development. Anyway, I was thinking maybe removing some of the rubble rock and planting Joe Pye weed planted every so often along the ditch, which is 6' deep and 6' wide with about a 45 degree pitch. Currently there is a crappy looking grass that grows in the area, along with some other weedy flowers and the only good thing, some morning glory. Area gets full sun and is fair moisture wise during normal season weather. So you think it would do well there and be able to choke out some of the grass and other junk? Or do you think I should look in other directions. I think you need to wait for at least one full seasonal cycle in order to ascertain how much water flows in that ditch during wet spells... those rocks and that tough crappy grass/weeds can well be what keeps you from having a huge erosion disaster... I wouldn't go digging in that ditch until you see what's what, doesn't take but a small shovel full to seed a full blown erosion. |
