Time will tell if it actually works, but it seems like a good idea in my mind. Not only should it help with preventing erosion on the border of my property, it should also provide us with a healthy and nutritious food supply.
Along with some of the other wild edibles that I've been learning about and enjoying is this plant shown above, Creeping Charlie. It is a delicious low-growing plant that I was first introduced to by 
Here is a pot of it that I had last year, and as you can see, it grew out of the pot and into the soil around it, which testifies to how well it grows and spreads.
Here is another location where some is growing on our land. BY relocating it to the border of our property along the main drainage ditch for the gravel road, we will not only still have it available to eat, but it should also spread out there and help prevent erosion.
Just by lifting some from the soil, I got about thirty little starter plants. This is a great amount to start with, and it too will continue to reproduce and spread for us.
Some that I had previously planted on the border of the property earlier this year is still green and doing well. I planted this patch right before some rains we had, so it looks like it rooted well in its new home. Hopefully the new ones will root just as well!
One thing to mention is that you should be careful when relocating plants, as some are restricted and others seen as invasive, so do your own research and know your local law. This particular plant is just one small piece of the puzzle that is our goal for our property, but each day we try to fit more pieces into our puzzle!
