I have about 1.5 acres of land in my back yard and I need advice on what/when to plant on it so all the dirt does now wash down to the bottom. Whatever I plant/seed needs to come in thick and fast. My daughter had 2 horses back there and now the land is pretty bare.

I'm not sure how well this would scal up, but I took care of a badly eroded patch on my hillside by mixing chia with perrenial seeds. When chia seeds get wet, their seed coats form a type of glue, which keeps them and whatever they're mixed with from washing away.
