Chris-
A coleaugue here Santa Barbara, California named Doug Richardson has used
vetiver to great success to control soil erosion on steep slopes. We have a
mediteranean climate like some regions of South Africa so could be analogous.
From my observation the plants have done well with minimal supplemental
irrigation. Contact me off-list is you want his email.
