Hi Dan, I have got a new sloping hill on my lottie. Was going to leave a slight slope (covering it with weed supressant, then a flat bit, slope again with weed suppressant etc etc, till as the Grand old Duke of york did, I march to the top! (this is the theory!!) I am going to plant pumpkins and squashes through the supressant so the ground is not wasted, and will hopefully not wash away! Another way to do it is to hold the soil back with wood or whatever you can scrounge through the PTA!
Might be an idea if you have a digicam to post a piccie of your area on the Gallery, then people can see what you have! Good luck Dottie P.
