I Have Recently Built A Log Home On About 4 Acres Of Land Alongside A River. It Is Very Overgrown With Weeds. I Have Some Areas Th

Land is half fill. A large area is overgrown weeds. I think i am going to tarp the weed areas this winter and leave tarp on for the summer. A lot of the land is clay. I want to grow ornamental grass so I can watch it move in the wind. Can it grow in the rock fill? I want to grow plants on a clay hill that was left in a mess and is eroding from the construction work on the driveway. I will not be able to mow it. Thoughts? I have grown twelve sunflowers on it. Not too great as it was mixed in with weed. I do have lilies there as well. Struggling but okay. I have lots of seeds including poppies, lupins, echinacea, brown-eyed-susans, and I have hostas that I have split and planted in an area just to grow and establish until I move them. What other plants would you recommend and thoughts on how to move this land into something/
