Only clicked video for the butt
why do you use wire mesh?
What about torrential rain ? .... hard sustained brutal rain.
Interesting product.❤️🇨🇦
The original plants were not holding the soil, hence the need for a better system.
Can this be built from bottom to top? If the house is below and nothing on top of the hill.
EXCELLENT transition! Love your product brother. Would love to see an erosion test! Like a hillside fully kitted out with plants and all after a period of time to allow compaction and doused with water. You could do half a hill and douse both sides.
We did just that! Check it out..kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZeoz5Jwj63PcZM.htmlfeature=shared
@@dirtlocker excellent product! Kudos to you for inventing something that makes the world a better place
Despite the ringing of the bell, I really appreciate the information, very useful :)
Glad it was helpful!
It’s been almost a year. How far has the wall moved? Do you think it will last another few years without any geo netting to keep the wall from moving?
Its been 8 months, the wall isn't going anywhere. We hope to make it back later down the road if our viewers are curious about the progress on this example.
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.
Instead of needing 9 people, can you make a sort of tabletop jig to hold each locker at constant width while you level it and hammer J hooks?
Does it really take a village?
@@blablah538we’ve had individuals, couples, families, and professional install the systems. It depends on your situation, how big the system is and how quickly you want it done.
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!
It seems great but what if your slope is not in a location where trucks can bring in cubic yards of dirt?
Hopefully you will do a follow up after 6-8 months.
Since the material is biodegradable, how many years can it last before it's started to degrade and fully degraded?
@@contemplate8727 the product is not biodegradable.
Do you have a reveal of her hillside? Curious to see how it all turned out!!
Why are dirt lockers so expensive they are just recycle plastic
You may be on to something here, Why is a smart phone so expensive when it’s just some electronics, a piece of glass and case, why is a cup of coffee so expensive when it’s just a few beans? Why are sneakers so expensive when they are just canvas glued to a piece of rubber.
@@dirtlocker You think you are an iphone? I got it then your markup is 2000%
@@chunhchan No, the iPhone is manufactured for approximately $150, the cup of coffee costs $.070, but it’s the intellectual property, shipping, packaging, and marketing that is expensive. Additionally It actually costs more to use recycled plastic. Our price also includes shipping and packaging. To design, patent, trademark and market a product is expensive. If you don’t believe me, design something, patent, trademark, package, and ship it to your customer. Then tell us how expensive we are.
I'm assuming this product isn't available in Australia?
Hello, we do ship to Australia, we are shipping an order this week, but admittedly, the cost of shipping/taxes/duties can be off putting. If you are considering a larger order please contact us as we can evaluate less expensive shipping options than what the website DirtLocker.com would show.
I would like to see what this looks like next year
Amazing customer service!
Thank you
Does it come in grey?
We are making plans to order this. From 🇨🇦. We are on a hill on a lake. We don't want to mow our slope any more. Mowing it is a widow maker.
Great, let us know how we can help. Regarding mowing on a slope, absolutely could not agree more. We’ve had customer/potential-customers attempt to “save” money putting grass on their slopes, then have to buy specialty mowers to deal maintain them, or risk their well being.
Genial!... Genius!!! I shall be using this idea in Brazil!
very cool!
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.
Looks like a manufactured solution to natural swales and terraces. Let's see how this works 2 years in
Dirt Locker. Great name.
Thank you. Just got my first set of dirt lockers put in and looking forward to many more.
Excellent, excited for your hillside transformation!
Can I use the dirt locker without any plants? Will they be just as effective in retaining the soil?
Thank you for your question, Dirt Locker is not a structural product whereas a retaining wall is, so can’t make the comparison that they are equal, but no, we at this time do not recommend without plants, plants add strength to system over time
@@dirtlocker thank you for your quick response!
The retaining walls need some drain holes.
❤ Amazing! I wished we could see final results!
I would build the very bottom wall up 4 feet and shove a whole lot of horse manure to fill the whole and then top it with arbours wood chips. You can also try the hugulculture method
I need this
Hi, i live in Australia and interested in learning more about how i can do this with my very steep sloped backyard
We have a lot of Australian customers, view our international shipping policy at www.dirtlocker.com :)
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.
That looks like an amazing system. I really do hope you can get back there and show us the results.
Ms Vanessa is a cutie 🥰
You need plants and trees with abundance in roots like Willows, Figs, lilioasphodelus, etc
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!
Retaining walls if not engineered and installed correctly is an expensive problem to happen. I have a bunch of them on my property and thankfully have had no problems in more than 20 years. With that said, this solution looks a lot less expensive in the short and long term.
Need another video a year later to see how effective this will be.
Please update on this one..Her ideas seem good.
Of course, when planting is done we will get to see the finished product?
Great info! Would love to see once planted!
Thanks for this video. Very Interesting
Nice..
I LOVE it..I have been looking at these & wondered what they looked liked years later. It is Beautiful.
Ca these be bought in the uk
Hello, thanks for your question. Yes we sell and ship to UK, we have customers in England, Ireland and Scotland.
Im so grateful to find this. 4 years ago we bought a home in Utah with a very large steep slope for a back yard. We want so badly to be able to grow our food, but have such limited space. We have had people come our and give us over 100k bids ro terrace our hill. I can't wait to install this and extend our food garden.
Let us know how we can help
Really looks good. I would like to see some that have been there for a while.
Thank you for your comment. We do have some pictures of established systems on our website
