We just bought our little farm and the bad thing about it is about 15 ft. from the back yard is a huge slope leading down to our creek. My question is how can I build a retaining wall to keep the soil from erroding? I'm thinking because of the cost, to just back fill dirt because it will have to be around 10 ft tall and 25 ft. wide.
Another question that I have is if it would be better to use dirt to form a "slopping", what would be the best kind of grass to plant to keep the dirt from washing away. I live in KC if that helps any.
Thanks for your help,
Joe
