Looking to plant something on a couple of places on logging roads where the ground is wet, contains alot of clay, and doesn't get a ton of sun. Looking for something that can take some traffic on it as well. Don't care if it provides one ounce of benefit for wildlife. Just looking for something that will hold the soil. These areas are constantly getting mucked up (especially the last couple of years with all the rain) and I would like to plant something on them.

This might work, I know it's pretty good for erosion control if you do get it to grow:
"Tall Fescue. Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) grows best in clay soil. A cool-season grass, it does well when planted in either full sun or partial shade. It is a coarse-textured grass, but new varieties, such as the turf-type or dwarf turf-type tall fescues produce shorter, finer blades"

Mix 50 lbs of winter wheat or oats, 4lbs ladino white clover 2lbs of birdshot trefoil and 2 lb. Dutch white clover per acre of logging road. Lime of course, good for erosion and food for about 2 years, just dont drive on it alot or you'll be reseeding more

Did you plant anything yet? Hoping to this week. Had some leftover grass seed that has a lot of fescue so I am going use it up. |
