I have the same situation as Foraygardengirl; corner lot with slopes on both sides. I've been wondering for years what the heck I could do with this mess, and now along comes this brilliant article. All I can say is WOW.. and THANK YOU!!! Now I won't feel too guilty "rescuing" more plants from work, I know now that I'll be able to find new and creative homes for them. YAY you Chelle!!!
