That is a good idea … even better jute erosion control cloth (it disappears on its own in about a year or so). We used that on a pond bank that had some severe washing. Basically jus lay it out and use wooden stakes to hold it in place at first then everything grows together … and best you don’t have to worry about pickin* up pieces of the stuff in the future since it’s biodegradable.Could always use some silt fence for a bit as well to keep the pile in place till it firms up. I have plenty of weeds in flower beds where mulch used to be, so I know "something" will grow in mulch! Anyway could always put a load of soil over it and plant grass. Won't be perfect but would help hold it together. Still a lot cheaper to make a big mound of mulch instead of fill and top soil.
