Undermined bank

Hi all. We did a bit of work to a field on a hill, beneath another hill with a ditch between. Despite our argument the trees were left up and the lower field taken right flush to the ditch. It’s fallen away a bit over the few years. So the trees were cut down this week. Is there anything you could do to knit the soil in? Someone told me to plant ivy and that might hold it. Any thoughts?

Any sort of ground cover plant will help. But cattle will eat it unless it is fenced off. You will need to fence top and bottom, of former ditch. Electric will be best as plant come near it cattle will eat it. Advantage of ivy is you can spray briars or any other things that grows there with roundup as it will not kill mature ivy
