The other side of the fence:
Stating the obvious. Grass. Other than that you have all dirt. Wind and water will continue the erosion. Grass seed is cheap. Try hay, if it is not windy in your area,bales of hay cost $12. You will need 3. Break them down and throw seed in, let weeds and grass grow.
Assume the fence posts are erected properly with adequate embedment length, the only thing you need to address is to avoid soil erosion or loss of surface soil due to weathering. I'll provide a 1' - 2' wide x 6" deep stone bench next to the fence, then buildup and smoother the slope with topsoil and populate it with vegetation, but no trees.
