Controlling Erosion on a Sloped Yard with Groundcovers

Choose Running Types

Vinca minor, Vinca major, or English ivy (if hardy) spread quickly across the surface, holding soil better than clumping types like Ajuga or Pachysandra.

Speed Establishment

Spray-feed every 10–14 days during growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
