Why crown vetch, and Will it work for my situation?

9 years ago
Your crown vetch pictures look like a brilliant solution to technically manage a field, while providing a singular beautiful look. How hard was it to get it started, and how long did it take to get it to look the way it does.


I have a VERY steep slope in the front of my house which plays a significant role in my overall curb appeal. My sea green junipers are not getting large enough fast enough to control erosion or manage storm water.

What would I need to do to prepare my slope before I planted the crown vetch seed. I have approximately 1/4 of an acre. It has some ruts and irregularity.

    Do not plant crown vetch it is an invasive plant that quickly grows out of control & spreads to other areas. Look for a 'native' plant that is indigenous to your state that thrives on dry slopes. Native plants are adapted to local environment & do not become invasive. Lots of info online about native plants by state/region/zipcode
