- Sorry about losing context, but my newsreader doesn't do quoting, yet.

- Someone asked how steep a slope am I working with... The mildest grade
- is a 12'-14' drop over 20'. One small steep grade is a 2' to 3' drop over
- about a foot. The problem areas are the edge of the front lawn
- (+/- 45 degree angle over 25 feet) and the edges of the septic field
- (3 foot of drop over 5' to 6').

- We live at the bottom of a granite/clay hill with seasonal springs. There
- is actually very little flat ground, and all of it is artificial. :)
-
- Some of the rye that we planted this year was torn out in a couple
- gully-making spring/early summer storms.

- thanks!
