Guerilla Garden Ground Cover
I've done a bit of guerilla gardening this year but now need some suggestions for ground cover as the "soil" (and I use that term loosely) is quickly eroding. The garden is on an embankment between two roads and inclines at 30% at it's lowest point to 60 % at it;'s highest point. The "soil" is mostly clay and the garden is in direct sunlight all day and for most of the evening. As this is guerilla gardening all the flowers and herbs have been donations so if I'm going to spend $$$$ it has to be a "cheap and cheerful" purchase. We have alot of scilla in the neighbourhood so I would prefer to plant something else. I have planted some vinca but it's not taking off fast enough - any thoughts from the master gardeners (which I DEFINITELY am not!) ? Oh yes - must be able to tolerate some dog whiz and road salt given it's location.
