Might be something to check on.

Sadly he does resemble an increasingly large percentage of us these days.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I've had success slowing erosion with rocks like that. I've put rocks in ditches and gullies and after they'd collected runoff for a while some grass and eventually some small trees begin to grow. I have some gullies that I thought were hopeless Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640663629610290592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-12556047148607012442015-03-31T17:28:08.178+02:002015-03-31T17:28:08.178+02:00Quinn - Not too sure what you mean - I'll Goog...Quinn - Not too sure what you mean - I'll Google it.

I don't know enough about your conditions there, but I've often made them very simply with small logs, or whatever timber is at hand, to reduce erosion on trails built on slopes. You'd have to start "upstream" of your chasm, and if it helps, you could then go on with remedial attention. Just a thought!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-61021380802109815362015-03-31T12:47:07.748+02:002015-03-31T12:47:07.748+02:00Gill - Pomegranates can be grown on either a tree ...Gill - Pomegranates can be grown on either a tree or a bush - depending on how they are pruned.
