Default ditch problem

I have this ditch between my two lots I was wondering if anyone has
any good ideas about what to do with it. it is dry except when it
rains and then it moves kind of fast.
Thanks Bob


I've love to have something like that to play with.


Same here!

It looks about the size of my garden :-)

I think the problem for Bob is that when it rains it torrents down that
creek and would scour out most things planted in there. Certainly it would
be worth taking a look at what nature plants in similar local creeks.

Bob. it's a shame you can't put a few little dams in it to make some
permanent pools but if the authorities say no then they must have a reason.
Could you perhaps dig it out some more in places to make those permanent
pools? Would the authorities allow you to do that?
