Tiered plot

With my garden being on a slope I have tiered it as I dug it over. This give me 11 flat beds of 8m x 2m with paths between.
One side of each bed is obviously sloped at about 45 degrees as it goes down the slope.
Can anybody suggest anything low growing that I could grow on it.
Eventually I am intending to make them into raised beds but that will be next winter.

 

Are you thinking of an edible crop, Wavy? In which case, maybe some of the herbs? Some of them are a bit invasive, like mint, so maybe you could avoid that one! But there are quite a few suitable ones, including lavendar.

Have a look here, if this idea appeals to you....

Half the plots in my allotment are on a steep slope and they grow everything. Slopes are good for drainage.

 

Sawfish, Half the plots on my allotment are the same as mine but for some unbeknown reason I started to tier it so the beds were level.
Call it ignorance and being new to the scene.
Mind you I must admit it looks good.
Plus when I do finally make them into proper raised beds one side will be knee height.
No bending for me then !

 

I think you could have the ideal plot in many ways, flat beds and great drainage.

Of course I'm living in Glasgow so we dont have to worry so much about clinging onto water as much as people down south. As long as you have a humous rich soil that retains moisture you should do perfectly well.

 

That has got to be the first time that I have heard of Rotherham being refered to as being down south.
What a sheltered life I have leed.
