Plant it up with the ground cover plants of your choice?

Could you put a picture of it on the site, then we'd all have a better idea what the problem is, Budgie. It may be that you need some more wooden supports to keep the soil back and to stabilise it all, then you could do as Beattie says, and plant it up with ground cover plants. Or how about terracing it, so that you'd have a rockery effect, then grow alpines, etc. on there. Anyway, give us a photo, then we can help more. Annie (Cumbria)
