Hi all
- I need a lot of good suggetions from you to a new very steep part of my
wilderness that I want to start some gardening in. Wild ferns seem to
dominate this area now that could be about 10 x 15 meters.
I started to 'clean up' and made a ziczac walk downsloaps here yesterday
.... it is fading east/north east - it is is along a waterfall and a
difficulty part of a longer walk I try to make along it.
It certainly a shady part of garden - with some big trees at the bottom,
make even the morningsun not come much through here. Soil seem to be heavy
- full of organic stuff. And it is not the shade that is my problem - but
that is is so VERY steep - maybe 1:1 ... so I want suggestion on something
that do not break down by first strong wind or rainfall.
I suppose some the ferns will still be there, but I want something else
too. But it must be something that NOT need lots of care/cutting and so on
because it is about impossible to walk here.
Thanks if someone can help with suggestions.
:) Arnhild
