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

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. ;-)

Both good points. Yes, I could step it. I don't know if my not-so-young back
will stand it, I bvgg3red it a couple of years ago trying to move a fork
lift shovel, before I realised that it had a two-tonne weight on it. I
suppose I could hire a micro digger, that should do the trick. And I like
driving boy's toys!

Yes, I think I will. I reckon this is probably the ideal sort of weather now
for doing it, ready for autumn planting.
