As the wood chips decay into the soil, keep replacing them because the decayed wood will bring in earthworms and other soil microbes. This will deny light to the weed seeds and make it difficult for weeds to take hold. To suppress the weeds, I recommend you cut down what is there and put a layer of mulch 4-6 inches thick of undyed wood chips. Even our native hay scented ferns which grow matted roots and release chemicals to suppress other plants are invaded by goldenrod and wild morning glory to name a few. The soil is full of weed seeds that have blown in or come from weeds that have gone to seed. If you would like some photos of the area I can take some after work someday.Īnything you plant on your slope will still need weeding and maintenance. I need some ideas on how to kill the weeds at first, then need ideas on what to plant or place on the slope to keep the weeds from coming back.Īny help that you can give me would be appreciated. We have planted a few trees on the hillside which have established themselves pretty good but the weeds are just out of control. At least once a summer I have to take a weekend or two just to weed the hillside which has many different weeds including poison ivy which I am highly reactive to. The majority of our soil is either shale or clay so the sloped area has no ground cover. The remaining earth was used to flatten the area around the leech bed and pushed towards the neighbors property which created the slope.
I'm told by the neighbor that when the house was in construction the contractor cut into the existing native slope for the house foundation and installed a septic system and leech bed next to the house. The slope is about 50-60 degrees at its steepest. Approximately 150' long and 10' high at the highest point.
