I do need to do something about said ditches. When it rains heavily the water flows through them and around my yard. I want to dig a swale higher up on the slope or convert then i to French drains.
Thank you for your input I was finally abke to get some pictures of the yard.
Hello longtime lurker, first time poster.

I recently inherited a house and am planning on converting the yard into a food producing no till garden. The only problem is that part of the yard is extremely hilly from where the property was bull dozed.
Currently there is a forsytia bush and a patch of Angel trumpet planted there plus a few comfrey plants that i planted last year. There are two small ditches that were cut by erosion diviving the area into little hillocks.
On one are(the side with the half buried log) i plan to plant some raspberry bushes, comfrey, garlic, and multiple onions, and the next little hillock I plant to put an asparagus/ strawberry bed.
I am curious as to what to do with the ditches I want to mulch them with cardboard and wood chips but I am worried the rain will wash the chips way. Sorry for the long post but I am looking for some constructive criticism for my permaculture plan.
