Hi all, I've been systematically ripping junk off this slope for some years now. We've gotten rid of most of the junk trees, junk shrubs, the 'jade plants' (ahhhhhhh!), the ice plants, the asperagus fern (did you know nurseries are still actually charging people to BUY this weed?) and tons of ivy. What's left is dirt in some spots, pine needle mulch, and still lots of ivy. I'd like to continue to get rid of the ivy and replace it with something else. If you have suggestions, I'd be very grateful to discuss them. I need something as a general cover otherwise the bare spots grow weeds of course. To hear your experience with various groundcovers will be really helpful. I have full sun areas, part shade areas, and total shade areas. There are some narcissus bulbs, Amaryllis belladonna bulbs, standard sized Agapanthas, and pine trees. I'd like to plants drifts of other kinds of bulbs to naturalize so the new ground cover would seem to need to be loosely growing enough to plant into it or to remove spots of it and plant the new plants and bulbs there. Thanks everyone! Cathy Craig San Clemente CA Zone 9b
