I would suggest you talk to a well-recommended, local source, since there are likely different solutions for different geographies.... Sorry I cannot be more helpful, this is not my area of expertise. Good luck! Tom, I don’t think that Ted is checking this anymore….

And look forward to seeing more posts! I have been deciding on what to do with a troublesome landscape issue. My MCM has a large bank in the front yard that slants down to the street. At its highest point from the street is some 25 ft and the lowest about 5 ft. and at about a 40 degree slope. I have pulled out all the former bushes to rid myself of poison ivy issues ......every summer I have a bout with the stuff and have since planted grass. Although the grass is a good replacement of course its difficult and dangerous to cut.....plus weeds do grow up and I spend time weed whacking them. What would Ted suggest for such a problem issue that would keep in line with MCM landscaping? Thanks so much !! First of all love this topic……!!! And look forward to seeing more posts!
