Hello Lance, from the great Northern Lands,
I am fond of
Lotus purshianus for a tough, pioneering leguminous ground cover, for bare disturbed soil. See:

Subject: [Lapg] need a plant name
Hi there,
I'm a permaculture designer in Ontario Canada, and was posed a question by someone in your neck of the woods. He needs a good deep rooted ground cover that prevents erosion, is drought resistant, with grow in sandy/rocky soils and is low to the ground as fire is a concern. Do you have a plant or two I could pass along to him that is a good ground cover in this instance?
Thanks!
