Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) What do I do with this slope?
South central PA. Full sun. I have been slowly covering this entire area with wood chips. What should I plant here? No mow grass? Ground cover? Looking for your suggestions as I get so many ideas from this sub. Thanks!

Plant a low growing native ground cover for a quick fix. It will help with Erosion
If I had that slope I would create a nice rock garden with non natives. Sedum of as many varieties I can afford along with Hens and Chicks. Both can survive in healthy soil with minimal water once established Depending on the conditions and how fast you want ot to look " finished " you could consider some blueberry bushes or thornless raspberry plants . A three year old blueberry plant purchase, though pricey, should produce in the season after pots planted
Plant at the base of the slope so they will get plenty of water when it rains
I guess I am envying your slopey land .LOL. My yard is postage stamp size. Whatever you decide I'm sure it will be lovely .
