Need to find an easy care groundcover for under trees and fence
The property line out back of my place in Maryland, zone 6: I'm clearing it out of dead brush, poison ivy. 250 feet along the property line wire cattle fence, has some healthy trees both on my side and on the other side. I'm wondering what kind of ground cover I could get for under the trees and along the fence so I won't need to mow around them? Some kind of mulch? Something not too expensive, to cover an area about 10 ft. by 200 ft. There is a low stone wall along part of it (50 ft) and about another 50 ft has the evergreen kind of honeysuckle vines growing wild on it that I will leave there, although they do sort of cling on the fence. I tried pachysandra out there years ago but had no luck.
