Seed mix for stabilising ditch bank.

[John Williamson]

I've got a pair of 'em, which is why I was only ever let near the hard landscaping when I was designing gardens for a living. You can't go too far wrong with a bit of pointing.

Not necessarily grass, just after some plants that will root into the soil and stop it subsiding.

Thanks for that, they're local to me!

Plum trees love to grow in banks. If you or neighbours eat them, stick the pips in there. Sloe & elder also seem to do well in very damp soil.

Grass will sow itself. Best to let other plants get in there first, ones that will provide more root depth and a better above ground result.

In extreme conditions, does it get any significant flow or depth of water?

No, most of the time it has just under a foot of water in the bottom of it. Fullest I've ever seen it is about a foot and a half. Doesn't flow anywhere as far as I can tell.
