Single Malts - and other odd Musings

Heather - erosion control par excellance

A large chunk of hillside was barren clay when I moved in so over a few years I transplanted about a half dozen Heather plants and spaced them four of five feet apart.  They have quickly spread and covered the large clay scar and keep trying to colonize the yard.  So in the summer after the grass itself has been subdued I next do the heather patrol and ruthlessly pull every small smidgen of heather moving in rank into and across the drive.   But the bloom is gorgeous and the feel of  Heather on the Hill  makes it all worth while.
