Please can anyone offer advice on the best covering for quite a steep slope. We have a large banking area that has poor soil. I tried wildflower seeds last year & nothing came of them. I want to keep that area as low maintenance as possible. Would like to use slate/pebbles/woodchip but not sure if it will just slip down. Any recommendations please? Thanks

I’ve used bark on mine. Although I need to top up bits each year it works well. My slope was a lot bigger and steeper xx

If it's not a path I think I would turf it.
