My Garden backs on to a recently constructed office development. A bank was built up between it and my property and a mesh fence was errected along the top off the bank as a boundary fence.
My side of the bank faces northwest. Last year I grew tomatoes in pots along the top of the bank using the mesh fence as a trellis and I had a wonderful crop.
The problem is the bank, which was built up mainly of clayey soil has started to gradually slip. Could you recommend plants or grasses that would stabalise the bank please?

I googled plants for a shady bank and found this.
