RE: Back Acres: Building the Garden Terrace and Lower Rock Retention Wall
a good honest days work! hard work too !
Have you ever considered using tyres? i have retained a 30 foot drop over a length of 50 feet in one week with tyres and dirt .. they were finally all covered with mud plaster with 10% cement and hold up extremely well!! IF you do its good to put a plastic membrane under the tyres just to ensure there is zero leaching into the soil..
nice job jack
Thanks Alex - I'll have to check on tire sources, i've never looked into what the scrap yards do with the tires around here. I can think of a coldframe green house project where they would work well. I've considered the earth bags, have enough on hand for a small project.
