Yea, need some good lime stone, the type that will stand up a little better to wash and erosion. Otherwise yea, it will keep eroding. All that stuff is expensive, concrete is crazy, asphalt not so much. Anything you do for a long term fix will dent the wallet. Looks like you have a nice place there though, might be worth doing or the investment.

I read through that top one, and from the sounds of it..... it might not be lawn safe, lol.

I might have to just go over and ask IFA (Intermountain Farmers Association) if they have something pre-made for it.

It looks like the name is a regional thing, LOL. We call them shoots in UT, and it looks like suckers is used as well. Whatever their name is, they suck - so maybe suckers is better? LMAO
