* Ground cover refers to materials used to cover the ground in landscaping, gardening, or agricultural applications.
* It can serve several purposes, including reducing erosion, suppressing weeds, retaining moisture, and providing a decorative element to the landscape.
* Ground covers can be low-growing plants, such as moss, ivy, or clover, or they can be materials such as mulch, rock, or gravel.
* Ground covers can be chosen based on their suitability to a specific soil type, climate, and desired aesthetic effect, as well as their ability to perform the desired function.
* In agriculture, ground cover can be used to protect crops from soil erosion, to retain moisture in the soil, and to reduce the need for tillage and other soil management practices.

* Usage: to provide protection from erosion and drought, and to improve its aesthetic appearance (by concealing bare earth).
