Which one? Armadillos? No we do have them in GA, but I've never seen one in the wild.

The 2 areas on the side of the house that we sodded are progressing ok (it's 'dormant' right now of course, so looks kind of white) but the area at the bad of the house in front of the woods is nothing but a mud whole. We haven't sodded it, but I feel like we might have to do down that root.

Certainly the grass seed that we planted and fertilized last year did not appear to have much of an impact. Problem is that it's down hill, and rainwater will wash it away. I spend a significant amount of time digging a trench and running pipework from our downspouts out into the woods to channel the water so that it wouldn't wash away our rear area.

Problem if course is that it has turned part of the woods into something akin to a marsh as a results. Those trees will have to be cut down before they come down. Luckily they are not big trees.

In early spring you might try some annual rye followed later by some Kentucky 31 fescue. The annual rye comes up in a few days and quickly fills in and can help hold the erosion. The rye will die out and the fescue can take over. If you have a farm coop they usually have good supply and prices on seed.

I’ve just reread my post and seen what a grammatical disaster it was.

Color me embarrassed!
