In an effort build the soil and prevent erosion I have added hay to the back side of my dam. The topsoil is thin and in some places non existent in others(bare hard clay in spots). It won't look very nice for a couple of years but once it decays I hope to get a nice stand of grass. I will probably sprig it next year. FWIW.....this hay was full of seeds. I wonder if they will sprout?

Three year old moldy hay was used.



Rolled the bails down hill then spread it out.
