Ground Cover to hide problem area!
I have this area of garden at the side of my house. It's going up a bank before dropping down steeply to the boundary which I can't really reach. It is full of stone and would have to be sorted by hand. We tried with a digger we had for another job but it was no help.
There are bits of old fence and metal poles sticking out of the ground and various tree trunks - it seems to have been left to fester for many years. I've recently had a beech tree cut down (the big stump you can see) as it was intertwined with the holly and growing through the blue fence. I should now be able to get a bit more of the blue fence out and tidy up a bit. However, I can't tackle this properly as a project as I have higher priority areas of the garden that still need loads of attention.
Is there anything that I could "plant" as ground cover that would essentially grow over the earth and stop it looking like a building site dump? I'd prefer not to have ivy or anything that will grow up the trees. It's in shade much of the day but does get a bit of sun at certain times.
