that might be too much. Or set up a sprinkler, shouldn't be a problem.


are you able to contour the bank so that water gradually runs down the bank
along a series of ridges, depressions and shallow ponds? This will allow you
to water in moderation and the run off will be subtly controlled.

Or plant in growbags on the bank. ;-)
