Prevent Erosion on 
Steep Banks 
Eventually one plant will cover 
a large area, but on banks it 
is important to get the soil held 
quickly. We suggest bad steeps 
be planted 18 inches apart each 
way—gentler slopes 2 feet, ex- 
cept as noted below: 
Steep slopes can be put into 
grass and mowed. But it is 
constant work and worry. The 
following plants do the job 
better. There are almost no 
maintenance problems. Four 
are inclined to get out of hand: 
Hedera, Lonicera, Rose and 
Vinca. They can, however, be 
rigorously pruned without the 
least harm.
