Planting on a slope in a region with strong rain?
I found this solution when I worked outside last week.
Of course this is no professional solution but a nice trick until the plants will have rooted well.
Those little things I love in Japan. The people here always find an easy solution for everything and you can get a lot of inspiration when only walking through the streets.
You see a brick stone holding ivy.
