If the ledge is as poor as you describe, I would clean it off to expose more of it. There may be plants that will grow in that situation (which we will learn about when Voodoo gets here). Do you really want to stake your reputation on a plant installed in barely enough soil (see post about irate customer).
Expose the ledge and plant shade loving natives around it where you KNOW there is enough soil. If you REALLY need to plant something on it go with moss or ferns.
I love ledge, and often explain to clients that ledge is an asset not a liability. You must work with it not against.
