We are about to finish work on my pond, and I now have about 1-2 acres around the pond, dam included, consisting mainly of North Carolina clay and relatively health soil from my pasture which has just been worked up a bit by the machines during renovation.
Slopes are pretty steep toward the pond, so I want to spread some grass seed as soon as possible to reduce erosion.
I am reading that Sudex is drought tolerant and has a good root system for holding soil.
As we move into the summer months, are there thoughts on Sudex as the grass to use on a temporary basis until fescue can be established later this fall? I believe Sudex is an annual.
I noticed that too! I had planned to cut it after a foot or so, and in doing so, provide more erosion control with clippings, but I'm not sure if cutting at that height would kill it.
Do you/anyone have other suggestions for dry season planting?
