Administration Announces New Financing Program for Housing Agencies
On Monday, the Obama administration unveiled a new program to support state and local housing finance agencies (HFAs). The plan will help the agencies finance mortgages for first-time homebuyers and develop rental housing. This announcement follows upon the intent to support HFAs first outlined in February under the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan. The Administration's initiative has two parts: a new bond purchase program to support new lending by state and local housing finance agencies, and a temporary credit and liquidity program to improve the access of HFAs to liquidity for outstanding HFA bonds.
State and local housing finance agencies have the authority to finance and administer a number of programs in order to develop and preserve affordable housing for low- to moderate-income households. Manufactured housing is an integral part in meeting the demand for affordable housing, and is an eligible activity for housing finance agencies to be involved with. MHI encourages its members to work closely with state and local housing finance agencies as they can be an important source of financing.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to power over Ethernet (PoE) systems and methods and, more particularly, to the use of a powered device (PD) originated AC signal for communication by the PD to the power source equipment (PSE).
2. Introduction
The IEEE 802.3af PoE standard provides a framework for delivery of power from power source equipment (PSE) to a powered device (PD) over Ethernet cabling. In this PoE process, a valid device detection is first performed. This detection process identifies whether or not its connected to a valid device to ensure that power is not applied to non-PoE capable devices.
After a valid PD is discovered, the PSE can optionally perform a power classification. IEEE 802.3af defines five power classes for a PD device. The completion of this power classification process enables the PSE to manage the power that is delivered to the various PDs connected to the PSE. If a particular power class is identified for a particular PD, then the PSE can allocate the appropriate power for that PD.
Once the power is connected to the device, the PSE uses either AC or DC Disconnect method to find out whether or not the device is still connected. In the DC disconnect method, the PSE detects that the PD load current has dropped down to a certain value to conclude that the device has been disconnected. In the AC disconnect method, the PD disconnect is examined by the AC impedance of the PD by the PSE, which is accomplished by sending an AC probing signal. Monitoring the occurrence of a disconnect condition is crucial to ensuring that power delivery is also discontinued over that Ethernet line.
As this PD connection and disconnection process illustrates, the detection of a condition of a PD is crucial. In general, this reflects the importance of the PSE being aware of an operating condition of PDs. In conventional systems, a PSE's visibility into the state or condition of operation of a connected PD is through the measurement of a PD's response to probing signals transmitted by a PSE. This layer 1 communication process is limited in its capacity to communicate information between the PD and the PSE. What is needed therefore is a mechanism that enables the direct communication of information from the PD to the PSE.
A system and/or method for communication using an AC signal from a powered device, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.
In order to describe the manner in which the above-recited and other advantages and features of the invention can be obtained, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are not therefore to be considered limiting of its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
Various embodiments of the invention are discussed in detail below. While specific implementations are discussed, it should be understood that this is done for illustration purposes only. A person skilled in the relevant art will recognize that other components and configurations may be used without parting from the spirit and scope of the invention.
As noted, once the PSE supplies power to the PD after detection and classification phases, the PSE monitors whether the PD is still connected. The monitoring can be performed using the AC disconnect method, where the PSE examines the AC impedance of the PD. The AC disconnect method is based on the fact that the open circuit impedance at the PSE port is significantly higher than when the same port is terminated by a valid PD. Thus, if a high impedance is measured by the PSE, then the PD is no longer connected and the port must be turned off.
This examination is enabled by the PSE's sending of an AC probing signal to the PD.
After the PSE applies the small AC voltage to the power applied to the port, the PSE can then measure the returned AC signal amplitude at the port terminal. Under normal operation, the connected PD's relatively low impedance returns a low AC signal. The detected low impedance of the PD (e.g., less than 27 kΩ) will enable the PSE to determine that the PD is still connected.
If the PD is disconnected, on the other hand, then the open circuit would cause the PSE to detect high impedance (e.g., greater than 2 MΩ). Upon this high impedance detection, the PSE will then shut off power to the port until a later valid signature and classification is identified.
As illustrated in
As the AC disconnection method illustrates, communication between the PSE and PD is typically limited to the identification of a response to a probing signal. This also holds true for the detection and classification processes that are implemented by the PSE. In general, layer 1 communication between the PSE and PD is limited in its capacity to convey information.
It is therefore a feature of the present invention that more advanced forms of layer 1 communication can be enabled between the PSE and PD through the use of AC signals. These AC signals that are sent by the PD can be similar to the AC probing signals that are sent by the PSE, and can be generated, for example, by known current modulation techniques.
As will become apparent from the following description, a protocol using the AC signals can be established that enables a signaling of a type of information being conveyed. This signaling of the type of information being conveyed defines a context for interpretation of the particular message that is being communicated. With this signaling protocol, advanced forms of detection and configuration can be performed by the PSE, including, but not limited to, power management, classification, and disconnection. As would be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the relevant art, the principles of the present invention are not limited by the type of information that is being conveyed.
In accordance with the present invention, the signaling protocol is included in AC signals that are transmitted by the PD to the PSE.
To clarify this distinction, it should be recognized that AC probing signals during the AC disconnection process did not communicate information in and of themselves. Rather, the AC probing signals were used by a PSE to incite a signal response on the port. The measurement of such a signal response on the port was used by the PSE to determine the desired connection/disconnection information.
In contrast, the AC signals of the present invention that are transmitted by PD 210 contain information in and of themselves. Communication between PD 210 and PSE 220 is therefore based on the extraction of the information contained within the AC signals transmitted by PD 210.
In one embodiment, the AC signals that are transmitted by PD 210 are similar to the AC probing signals transmitted by a PSE during a disconnection detection process. In that regard, the AC signals can have similar amplitudes and frequencies as the AC probing signals. This should not be viewed as a limitation, however. Rather, the choice of AC signals that are similar to AC probing signals provide implementation benefits since AC probing signals have already been approved for use in existing PoE applications. Thus, the use of AC signals that are similar to AC probing signals provide an easier path to adoption, but does not preclude the use of other AC signal amplitudes and frequencies to accomplish the same purposes as part of a signaling protocol.
It is a feature of the present invention that the length of the time periods TON and TOFF, either alone or in combination, can be used to communicate information from the PD to the PSE. In other words, the detection by PSE 220 of an active time period TON and/or an inactive time period TOFF of an AC signal on a port can represent information communicated to PSE 220 by PD 210. In effect, this form of communication can be described as time modulation of the on and/or off portions of the AC signal cycle.
Consider, for example, a communication system wherein three different time periods TON such as 100 ms, 200 ms, and 300 ms can be used by PD 210 to correspond to a value A, B, and C, respectively. In this framework, detection by PSE 210 of an AC signal having a time period TON of approximately 200 ms, would then be interpreted by PSE 210 of receipt of information having value B.
As would be appreciated, the defined granularity of the time modulation of the on and/or off portions of the AC signal would be implementation dependent. The limits of such a defined granularity would be determined by the transmission and detection capabilities of the PD and PSE.
To illustrate an example of such a time modulation mechanism in the context of a PoE application, consider the AC signal example of
Once the type of information being communicated is identified, PSE 210 can then determine the specific information of the identified type that is being transmitted. In one embodiment, the specific information being transmitted can be identified by the number (N) of repeating on/off cycles of the AC signal.
At the receiving end, PSE 210 would be operative to detect the number (N) of received on/off AC signal cycles. For example, for the classification information type wherein an AC signal cycle is represented by an active time period TON of 100 ms and an inactive time period TOFF of 200 ms, the detected number N of AC signal cycles can correspond to the class type of PD 210. For the power management information type, wherein an AC signal cycle is represented by an active time period TON of 100 ms and an inactive time period TOFF of 100 ms, the detected number N of AC signal cycles can correspond to a particular power management message that is being communicated. For example, message 2 identified by 2 detected AC signal cycles can be used to communicate a particular error condition at the PD. Finally, for the connection/disconnection information type, wherein an AC signal cycle is represented by an active time period TON of 100 ms and an inactive time period TOFF of 300 ms, the detection of an AC signal cycle can be used as a type of heartbeat signal. Here, the continual receipt of such an AC signal cycle would inform the PSE that the PD is still connected and receiving power supplied over Ethernet.
To summarize,
Next, at step 506, the PSE would identify a type of information conveyed from the PD based on the determined characteristic. For example, different types of information such as connection/disconnection, classification, power management, temperature, etc. can be distinguished based on the length of the active time period TON, the length of the inactive time period TOFF, or the combination of the active time period TON and the inactive time period TOFF. Once the type of information is identified, the PSE would then determine, at step 508, the number (N) of AC signal cycles that are received. This number (N) of received AC signal cycles would then be correlated to a particular message of the determined communication type. For example, the number of AC signal cycles can correspond to the class of the PD.
It should be noted that a particular communication application may have no need to distinguish between different types of information. This could result, for example, due to the limited amount of information that would need to be communicated from the PD to the PSE. In this case, a single type could be used, wherein the number (N) of AC signal cycles would be sufficient to identify all potential messages.
As the description above illustrates, the AC signal cycles that are transmitted by the PD can be used to communicate various types of information directly to the PSE. The potential applications of such a communication mechanism should not be limited by the examples illustrated above. Rather, the communication mechanism of the present invention can be used to communicate any status, operation, administration, maintenance, or signaling information from the PD to the PSE. As such, the communication principles can also be used to support direct layer 1 communication from the PSE to the PD.
These and other aspects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art by a review of the preceding detailed description. Although a number of salient features of the present invention have been described above, the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways that would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art after reading the disclosed invention, therefore the above description should not be considered to be exclusive of these other embodiments. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purposes of description and should not be regarded as limiting.

One of the most successful and most popular celebs in B-Town, Karan Johar has recently revealed that he lost his virginity at 26, post Kuch Kuch Hota Hai fame. In his latest article for NDTV, the 44-year-old filmmaker spoke about his insecurity and inferiority complex, which were later overpowered by fame. Talking in this regard, KJo revealed, "By the time I lost my virginity, I was 26 and that was after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai when I felt mildly famous." Hence, Karan declared, "I'm not chasing s** (anymore). If someone wants to chase me, they can certainly go for it. I can't do it." The Dharma Production head, in this regard, even said that he was once "invited to an orgy," which he declined. Karan Johar wrote about … well, sex and all that he has been through.

WORLD CUP 2010: Marcello Lippi to be replaced by Fiorentina boss Cesare Prandelli
Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli has signed a four-year contract to take over as Italy boss when Marcello Lippi steps down after the World Cup.
Italian football federation president Giancarlo Abete was given permission by the Serie A club earlier this month to talk to Prandelli, and the two men met in Rome today to discuss the matter.
An FIGC statement confirmed the pair had reached agreement.
Out with the old... Marcello Lippi will end his association with the Italian national team after the World Cup
It read: 'Cesare Prandelli will take over the bench from coach Marcello Lippi after the World Cup in South Africa.
'President Abete has confirmed this morning, in a meeting that was
held in Roma, the contract with the next coach of the national team,
after the decision of Lippi to leave his post.
'The FIGC and Cesare Prandelli have agreed a contract for four
years. The details of the deal will be defined in the coming days.
'The official presentation of the new coach will be at the end of World Cup.'
Lippi stepped down as Azzurri coach after leading the team to World
Cup glory in Germany four years ago, but resumed the role two years ago.
In with the new: Cesare Prandelli take over from Lippi later this year
The 62-year-old will again leave his post after this summer's
showpiece event in South Africa, and believes the federation have got
the right man in Prandelli to replace him.
'I told president Abete at Christmas that I intended to finish these
two years and then leave,' Lippi said. 'Prandelli is the right person
in the right place, but we will talk about this more in depth in the
'We will also talk further down the line, if you like, of the
reasons which have pushed me to leave the national team for the second
Former national coach Arrigo Sacchi is also confident 52-year-old
Prandelli, who was under contract with Fiorentina until June 2011, will
do a fine job at the Italy helm.
Sacchi told Sky Italia: 'Cesare has shown already many times that he is a great coach, a great personality.
Cornered: The Italians are ready to defend their title with pride in South Africa
'He is technically excellent and a person I respect. Working for the
national team is not like being a club coach - you are a coach that has
to do a lot in a short space of time.'
Prandelli arrived from Roma in summer 2005 and transformed
Fiorentina from relegation strugglers into a team worthy of a Champions
League place in his first season in charge.
Despite the 15-point deduction handed to Fiorentina for the
match-fixing scandal, Prandelli was able to guide the team to a
sixth-place finish in Serie A in 2007.
The following year, Prandelli steered Fiorentina to fourth place and qualification for the Champions League group stages.
After the departure of Carlo Ancelotti from AC Milan to Chelsea last summer, Prandelli became the longest-serving manager in Serie A.

Park Central Revamps Meeting Spaces

NEW YORK—As part of Park Central's multi-million dollar renovation, the hotel has unveiled revamped meeting spaces.
Jeffrey Beers International's renovations have updated the hotel with modern amenities to reflect the past and rich history of the hotel, according to the company.
Park Central's revamped meeting spaces are a combined 15,000 sq. ft. of space consisting of 11 meeting rooms, one boardroom and one exhibition area. The mezzanine level provides private, conference center-like space and the boardroom features places power and voice modules and a permanently mounted LED monitor with projection capabilities.
All meeting spaces are equipped with high-speed wireless, multiple power sources and flexible lighting options. Park Central also offers pre-function areas outfitted with elegant furniture and displays for cocktail receptions. All meeting spaces offer a full line of audio visual and presentation services by request. Specifically, the Manhattan Skyline, Park I & II, Times Square and Broadway rooms feature soundproof air walls.
In addition to Park Central's renovated meeting spaces, the hotel also offers 761 guestrooms, a two- story lobby and entirely new signature restaurant concept and "Grab-and-Go" shop.

With all of the question marks that always exist when it comes to navigating current conditions and forecasting future ones—i.e. the all-too-common inning analogy—and calls to action to advocate for the hospitality industry, one thing seemed overwhelming clear: the reminder that with all of the concerns and considerations, the hotel business is experiencing opportunity that is at an all-time high.

Central Sterile 'Tools of the Trade': Magnifying Glass
The following article is written by Matt Smith, marketing analyst for Healthmark Industries Co.
There are many challenges in a central sterilization supply department, but one of the most important is to provide consistency in proper reprocessing of surgical instruments and equipment. Many facilities have incorporated a magnifying glass at each work station to enhance their ability to check instruments. Per the AAMI Guidelines, "Verification of a cleaning process consists of … the most common method is a visual inspection, sometimes involving the use of a lighted magnifying glass … (AAMI ST 79 D.1 General Considerations).
The purpose of having one magnifying glass at each work station is to allow the CSSD professional to inspect the instrument for irregularities like burrs on the tip of a scissor and it can help identify stains as well.
Magnifying glasses have many benefits (i.e., tilting lenses, lights, size, various magnification power, etc.). Some can now be hooked up to a computer by a simple USB port and a picture can be taken and saved to be viewed later.
All of these features enhance CSSD technicians' ability to inspect instrumentation better. If they see any irregularity, the instrument can then be placed in the repair bin for repair or replacement. This simple tool allows the CSSD staff to catch possible concerns ahead of time and provide the best service possible for their customers.
The magnifying glass also enhances the CSSD technician's ability to spot stains. Stains come in all sizes, shapes and intensity. Sometimes a stain can appear quite benign or may not be easily detected by the human eye; the magnifying glass enhances the ability of the technician to pick up stains.
Identifying the type of stain is also very important. If a stain or any residue has been found, the CSSD professional may want to use a hemoglobin test to detect if any blood protein is found. If the test is positive for blood, it allows technicians to check their cleaning process to see why blood was left on the instrument.
Incorporating this simple "tool of the trade", the magnifying glass, in your facility's CSSD will help ensure verification of their process when it comes to inspecting instruments.

The largest section of future carrier 'HMS Queen Elizabeth' is now complete & embarks on 1,230 mile barge trip.
This gigantic segment - officially known as Lower Block 04 and weighing 11,300 tonnes - was towed on a barge down the Clyde on Sunday to begin a 1,230-nautical-mile (2,278km) journey around the south of England to Rosyth.
Originally the shorter route around the north of Scotland had been planned. However, bad weather in the north of the UK forced reconsideration and the route was changed to around the south of England and up to Rosyth through the North Sea.
Employees at BAE Systems' Govan shipyard, where the section was pieced together, and members of the public watched as a large seagoing barge carrying the aft section of hull made its way along the Clyde, past new destroyer HMS Duncan in the final stages of completion at Scotstoun, and under the Erskine Bridge.
Travelling around the south coast of England, the block - the final section of the hull to be finished - is scheduled to arrive at Rosyth early next week where it will be joined to the rest of the new aircraft carrier.

You strike me as an insecure black woman who feels less meaningful each time she sees a black man with a white woman. If this thread you created is any indictation of how you are in the real world, it's no wonder you're more than likely unattractive to black men; or any man for that matter.I notice when I do see interracial couples its mainly ugly black men with ugly white women, especially in san jose, ca where I am from?? Do you guys see the same thing?
Black men who date white women are usually ugly.

I cant really say i have noticed that but i have seen some fine looking brothers with some very average white women, i think it says something about their self esteem. Have you ever noticed how when a White man choses to go for a Black woman he always thinks he should have what is considered the best, you just have to think of White male celebrities who are with Black woman, it tells you some of how the white male regards himself.
#838 Feb 16, 2009
then maybe you should get out more, cuz that iz not TRUE, i'm wit a black man and i'm white, i don't say i'm gorgeous but we look good tagether and we have a beautiful daughter, leave san jose if you that upset by it. or maybe you jus hatin? cuz it sounds lyke some hatin shyt to me

Its ture, I rarely see good-looking white women with black men. In my life I can recall very few instances (one of them involving myself :-p). As for the men, sometimes they're average looking and date fat/ugly white girls simply because they're white. I don't get it and I hate to see it, brothas are worth far more than white man's trash.
#845 May 12, 2009
Black women get upset because these men are Uncle Toms suffering from that Willie Lynch Syndrome where whites taught them to hate themselves and love starts with self. They can't love someone of a different race if you don't love yourself. Blacks should stick together, it's such a damn shame to see some blacks degrade their own race like that.

Apr 2, 2013It seems boring and a bit lazy to say that Wiley sounds best when he's still offering up recognisable grime tunes, but it's undeniable that on The Ascent the strongest of such efforts capture the rapper in his best light.
UncutApr 2, 2013It's the bruised and pensive love songs, such as "Broken Thoughts" and "Ninja," and the sci-fi sleaze of "Chainsaw," that stick and make The Ascent a contrived pop product with its heart and mind intact. [May 20113, p.79]
Apr 2, 2013There may be a general lack of aggression or grit this time round, but this is more than countered by an impressive selection of songs.

Wiley brings back his grime roots on songs like First Class, Chainsaw and Sillzone, has the club raving with Heatwave, Can You Hear Me?, Reload and Lights On and has his own classic ESKIBEAT sound with Humble Pie, Rubicon Ninja and Broken Thoughts.

Frustrations of a feral generation
London riots hit home
LONDON, England (eTN) - We had watched the late TV news and were shocked by the images of looting, arson, street battles, and general mayhem engulfing swathes of north, east, and south London. We headed for bed relieved that at least we were in a safe part of west London far from the centers where the worst of the riots were taking place. We heard police cars with sirens blaring in the distance but were not overly concerned since these sounds are very much the backdrop of city life. I decided to check the latest news on the Internet and noticed a couple of lines about some incidents in our borough, Ealing. The reports said groups of marauding youths were smashing shop windows, a local building had been set on fire, and a number of cars had been torched. The road outside our house looked quiet but sleep was difficult; we were uneasy.
Shortly after 1:00 am, a ping on my phone alerted me to a text message from a journalist friend who lives in a block of apartments about a ten-minute walk from our house. It read: "Roving gangs on our estate now at Bloomsbury Close. Some jumped the tube line and are walking down past your house. Don't answer the door. Ealing burning."
Since the friend is a new father with a baby just a few months old, I texted back to ask if he was alright and whether the police had been alerted. He texted back, "Police are too busy tonight. The thugs we saw were masked and armed and looking for trouble. Several jumped onto the tube [underground] tracks. They now seemed to have left the area."
As a precaution, we checked that all the doors and windows in our house were firmly shut. Police sirens continued to wail through the night while helicopters circled overhead. To our relief there were no signs of trouble on our road. We found out later that elsewhere in Ealing, thugs broke into homes by kicking in front doors and made off with whatever they could find.
A man in his fifties was badly beaten up after apparently remonstrating with rioters who had set fire to a bin; he is now fighting for his life. Police are unable to identify him because they suspect his attackers stole his wallet and any other items which might have provided information about him.
There were reports of hooded youths barging into restaurants and making off with diners' wallets and credit cards. We were told about gangs roaming the streets carrying rolls of toilet paper, which they doused in petrol and set alight under cars. As far as the rioters were concerned it was a party; for the victims it was a nightmare.
The next morning I decided to walk to Ealing town center to see the extent of the damage for myself. I came across clusters of people exchanging accounts of the previous night's events. A tall, lean man passed by pushing a white bicycle, which looked too small for him. He was wearing jeans, a dark jacket, and white trainers. I noticed he had a slight limp. As he walked past a girl called out, "That's my bike." The man stopped, hesitated for a moment as though unsure how to respond, then casually mounted the bike and rode off.
As I turned the corner towards the main underground station, I saw the first signs of serious damage. The windows and doors of a Tesco supermarket had been smashed in. Further down, windows of restaurants, bars, and a pharmacy were also shattered, with glass shards scattered on the pavement. A TV camera crew was outside filming. The worst destruction was on the high street where no shop or restaurant appeared to have escaped the attention of the rioters. A traffic cone had been hurled at the entrance to a shopping mall, and it was now wedged in the glass door.
Crowds of people gathered on the green opposite a small supermarket, which had been set ablaze during the night. All that remained were the charred, exposed walls; everything inside had been stripped. Reporters and cameramen were busily relaying images of the devastation to viewers across the world. It was shocking and painful to see familiar buildings and stores we visited every day scarred and wrecked. Small businesses built up through years of hard work and sacrifice had been destroyed overnight. Referring to the rioters, one woman commented to her young son, "It's about stupidity; they don't think."
By early afternoon, much of the debris had been cleared by teams of volunteers who had linked up through the Internet. Within a few hours, young men and women armed with brooms and brushes had cleared the worst of the debris. It was heartening to see that the ugly and wanton destruction of Monday night had also brought out the best in people. The community came together determined not to allow the rioters to break their spirit. A bystander observed, "I hope there will be something positive coming out of this." This was a hope we all shared.
Politicians and the police were caught unawares by the scale of the violence which erupted in London and spread to Birmingham, Manchester, and other cities. The trouble was triggered by peaceful protests over the death of a young man shot dead by police. The protesters were demanding to know exactly how the man came to be shot.
Gangs went on the rampage and soon Londoners were transfixed by images on TV of buildings and cars in flames, masked youths, some as young as twelve, breaking into stores and emerging with bags full of clothes, shoes, mobile phones, or struggling to carry out looted flat-screen TVs. No one was prepared for the total breakdown of law and order.
The events of the past few days have been traumatic for people in Britain who felt helpless while anarchy seemed to prevail. Serious questions are now being asked about the root causes of the violence and the actions of what commentators described as a "feral generation," brought up in broken homes, without education, jobs, or any hope of a decent future.
The Prime Minister, David Cameron, and his colleagues rushed back from their summer breaks to demonstrate that they were in control. The Prime Minister announced that 16,000 police would be deployed across London and all leave for metropolitan police was being cancelled. Many complained that the response came too late. The timing could not have been worse for London with the Olympics exactly a year away.
We were relatively fortunate in our little corner of London, where on a scale of one to ten, we had experienced a fraction of the disturbances that had affected other areas of the city. Nevertheless, for Londoners on the whole, it was a loss of innocence. One gets used to images of riots and lawlessness in distant parts of the world projected on our TV screens; we discovered that the horror becomes very real when it occurs on your own doorstep.

From: Goldsboro, NC
Region: Southeast
Topic: Compost and Mulch, Erosion Control, Grasses or Grass-like, Shrubs
Title: Holding soil on a bank in Goldsboro, NC
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Goldsboro, NC on a small ridge with a very steep bank on one side of our property. What native plants can we plant on the bank to help hold the soil. Also, what would be best to plant on the ridge? We recently had to remove a couple of trees (too close to our house)from the ridge, but have left the trunks to rot hoping to hold the soil until we can establish new plants or low growing or small trees. Thank you
Since we don't know what is the amount of sunlight on either spot, the slope or the ridge, nor whether you will have irrigation or even how much space you have, we can't give you an exact landscape recommendation. However, we can make some suggestions and then refer you to our Native Plant Database, where you can make some of your own choices. As is our practice at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, everything we recommend will be native not only to North Carolina, but to the area in and around Wayne County, west central North Carolina, USDA Hardiness Zone 7b.
We recommend grasses for controlling erosion because of their extensive fibrous root systems that serve to hold the soil in place. However, seeding grass is not the whole process. The seeds need moisture to germinate. If the moisture comes in the form of rain, it is likely to wash the seeds down the bank before they have a chance to germinate and take root. There are two possible solutions—an erosion control blanket or pneumatic compost/seed application. The erosion-control fabric works by slowing the runoff water and allowing sediments to fall out rather than be washed away. Seeds are sown under the erosion-control material and grow up through the matting when they germinate. You can also insert plants into the soil by cutting through the matting. The roots of the plants that are growing through the erosion-control material anchor the soil to stop the erosion. If you use erosion-control blankets made of biodegrable material, they will eventually disappear leaving the plants to control the problem. Many nurseries carry this erosion control fabric.
The compost/seed application may be a bit more complicated and expensive than you had in mind since it does require a pneumatic blower, or some mechanical means, to spread the compost/seed mix. The US Composting Council offers information about suppliers of compost and compost technology, but we don't really know if this could be a do-it-yourself project. You might check with a landscaping or environmental consulting company in your area who might have the machinery to do this to learn about the feasibility and expense of applying the compost/seed mixture this way. You can find the names of Landscape Professionals and Environmental Consultants in your area that specialize in native plants by searching in our National Suppliers Directory.
