First is roots. But you have to preserve he soil in order to establish roots.

One way I have done this... Is to pound stakes or branch sticks deep into the ground and fasten a netting over the top. The netting works just like weed barrier only it hold the soil and plants can grow through and around it.

If you could get me a better picture of the area you are talking about I can help you more. Both sides of fence...,
Where the soil is washing out to...
That sort of thing.


Sure! This is probably the best represented pic. It's the side of the yard from outside the fence (our house is on the left) and the pond is technically a rain retention area, but since we get a lot of rain this time of year, it's usually full. The back is the same...I just can't go back there without getting poison ivy! Both the side and back belong to the town and not neighbors.
Does this help?! Thanks again for your help!! Thank You!
