Vetiver grass is a great erosion control plant. It's roots 'drill'
straight down into soil and hold firm. It grows fast and is
non-invasive.
It's mulch is useful for suppressing phytophtora fungus. It's
anti-fungal properties might make it a bad choice for ACT.
Time to get a microscope!
I've seen some old Leica stereo-scopes on E-b*y for about $200, 10X
eyepiece, up to 100X objective. Worthwhile?
