RE: What to plant?
I better crarify a bit more, the area will recieve direct sunlight for 3-4 hours a day, the canopy is broken enough to allow some light through the rest of the day.
This property is on Manitoulin island, the island is basically a large lime stone, with 3-6 inches of dirt covering the rock in some place's.
The trail would be about 8-10 inches of dirt that's been built-up and levelled for a provincial snowmobile trail. I will not be able to "till" this area, I want to get something down before weed's take it over.
