Hello, I am new to Gransnet and am enjoying following the discussions.
I wonder if anyone can advise me on how to manage a very steep part of the garden in my new house. It is VERY steep, so steep that it's difficult to walk on, the ground is heavy clay and we are currently pulling out masses of bramble and ivy. The previous occupant of our house had neglected the area for years.
We don't need to terrace it as we have a section of flat land for sitting out and easier gardening. My idea is to fill the slope with shrubs and groundcover that will only need us to climb the slope to manage the plants twice a year or so. We look out of our windows onto the slope so we want it to be pretty, but low maintenance.
I wonder if anyone has any experience of this, any idea of good plants to use and how to water and mulch without it all running off. I've read up on this but wanted so real advice from gardeners who've experienced this.
Thank you.
