I'm in a little town called burlison in the northwestern corner of Tipton county.

It is washed out a little under the culvert, but that's not the area I'm talking about. I had a guy tell me to take the culvert out all together and just have a low spot in the dam for runoff purposes. I think the culvert would be sufficient, it's just that we've never had such a serious rain like that. I've never seen rainfall like that here.

So since I have the excavator experience digging ditches as an electrician, I'll let my better half run the tamp during the backfill heheh. And I'll just tell the neighbor to forget about the retaining wall. It hasn't rained in a while here, I'm hoping it will compact properly.

What can I seed there that will germinate this time of year to keep erosion Down? What else can I do to prevent erosion there til a good root system fro
The turfgrass gets established?
