I had a 2 acre pond constructed last year that it now full. Unfortunately, due to some really heavy rains toward the end of the construction process, my contractor was not able to move dirt to the backside of the dam so that the area would be easily mowable. I now have a rather steep backside to my pond making it impossible to mow with my tractor or zero turn mower. Does anyone have any recommendations for what I could plant that would mitigate the need to regularly mow and that would also keep other undesirable plants/trees from growing? I am in southeast TN, the ground is acidic and is rich in iron if that helps narrow down the possibilities. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
