Would love to see a one year and longer follow up on this. That is a huge hill, I’d love to see how this works out in the long run with that steep slope.

It's wild that you can click a video and see a solution to a problem I didn't even know people had. Very informative.

I hope you can do a revisit on Vanessa's install at some point in the future - this was a very interesting property that desperately needed some kind of help. I love the new ideas (new to me) for placing the dirt lockers in rows or singles and even the rings for the trees - very interesting. Thanks for the video!

That looks like an amazing system. I really do hope you can get back there and show us the results.

That's a good demonstration site, for sure! The only thing I'd change could be to use native grasses like Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum) and Little Bluestem. The reason they're having so much erosion is because they're trying to use grasses that aren't native and don't have the deep-rooting structure that native grasses do. Even something like the commonly available Echinacea purpurea, our native Purple Cone Flower, has a root system that goes down 3' or more. Filling that slope with "turf grass" or other non-native species, will only add problems in the future. As beautiful as that slope is, returning it to a native prairie/savanna that's full of life..... that'd be amazing for everyone around! The native grasses might only grow a few feet tall, but they root 10' deep into the ground. Those fibrous roots tie the soil in place, preventing erosion on even the steepest slopes. Throw in some Cone Flower, Lead Plant, Tick Seed, Aster, and other native wildflowers, and you'd have a garden oasis that's just amazing. The neighbors would be super jealous!

Looks like a manufactured solution to natural swales and terraces. Let's see how this works 2 years in

Need another video a year later to see how effective this will be.

❤ Amazing! I wished we could see final results!

I would like to see a final video of the install maybe in a year or so. It seems like the system will work great but an actual time stidy to see the results would be fantastic. I would like to see if the trees and plants are able to minimize the erosion.

Do you have a reveal of her hillside? Curious to see how it all turned out!!

Thanks for this video. Very Interesting

Of course, when planting is done we will get to see the finished product?

You need plants and trees with abundance in roots like Willows, Figs, lilioasphodelus, etc

Hopefully you will do a follow up after 6-8 months.

Can this be built from bottom to top? If the house is below and nothing on top of the hill.

Ms Vanessa is a cutie 🥰
