18 months ago my husband and I bought our 99 year old dream home in southern Kentucky. We were so thrilled with the old farm house that we didn't pay much attention to the hillside that would soon become the bane of our existance. We have battled the weeds and brambles down and now desperatly need suggestions for a ground cover that can tolerate a strong southern exposure, heat and humidity of a Kentucky summer, and cling to a steep slightly rocky hill. Cost is also somewhat of an issue since this is about an acre in area. My local garden center suggested we buy a goat!
