CROWN VETCH
Crown vetch, is not a true vetch, though it is a legume. It was or is commonly
used by transportation departments to control erosion on banks and interchanges.
Crown vetch is drought and cold hardy, disease resistant and seems to grow
on the worst possible soils. However, this pink flowering perennial plant
tends to become weedy, and allows a perfect habitat for burrowing animals,
which isn't the best thing on banks. Plants don't respond to close mowings.
Seeds should be sown at the rate of 1/2 to 3/4 pounds per 1000 square
feet.
