Straw improves the view, reduces erosion
I was happy with the work in our backyard, but all that exposed (if compacted) soil had the potential of rolling down the hill in a major rainstorm. Today I took care of that with four bales of straw.
Straw covers the slope.
It turns out that when a project requires adding chaos, like spreading straw, a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old can be very very helpful!
Next up there: seeding with grass in some places and clover in the rest.
