I had some spots next to my ditch wash out around a tree. I lined it with bricks to stop it from eroding. It was eroding bad, finally got it stopped, now I'm moving plants over there. Got ditch lillies started on mine (those that look like tiger lillies)

I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at once.

How are you keeping weeds out of the area, Suzydaze? Do the ditch lilies spread and keep them from getting the sunlight they need to grow? Thanks for your input.

they will spread and get that thick, my mom has them in her ditch and they have took over the ditch.
my ditch is shaded in the afternoon. I do have alot of weeds over there and have been tossing my extra 4:00 seeds over there as well.
is your ditch full sun area?
4:00's are also a good cover, they re seed them selves and grow to about 3 to 4 foot. Can tqake some pic's if you want to see. I got alot of junk on my ditch line so I can't mow there.

I would love to see some pics, Suzy! I have plenty of four o'clock seeds that I can throw out there. I got them from my aunt when I moved a year ago, and just hadn't figured out where I wanted to plant them. Will they help keep the weeds from growing, too?

the 4:00 grow pretty thick, ber the first year I have tossed any on my ditch. 1st year I noticed my dirt leavcing I moved just plain old clumps of grass over there, anything to help.
Actually I don't fight with the weeds too much after all they too help hold the dirt.
I'll get some pictures up tomorrow

Here's some pictures of my ditch. It needs to be dug out and we just don't have the money to have it done.
and this is the problem, when all the big ditches are full it backs up onto us because we are on a low end

that piece of tin you see is where I put a wooden stake behind it to help hold my dirt up, but as you can see when the water is up it's not much help.
I have alot of stuff planted along the ditch line.
that pile of dirt in the very first picture came from where they replaced a water line and the dirt wouldn't go back in the hole, so I ask the guy could I have it and he even dumped it in the hole for me.
