Anyway regarding what you say about listening to the old timers . I remember as a young man working with an old farm hand who had spent his early years working with horses before tractors were widely used here in England . One thing he showed me was how to set a big gate post as firm as a rock by back filling the hole just a little at a time and ramming it down really hard as you did so . It worked perfectly. No need for these bags of “postcrete” or whatever that everyone today thinks are indispensable

I'm always amazed at how interesting these videos are. What I learned here is how deep these walls all. The depth is one of the reasons they've lasted as long as they have. The cap stones, and concrete plinths. That's added weight. As frost and water swell the soil and push against all that rock, all that weight on top pushes down to hold it in place. I hadn't considered that before. What's also valuable information is how after 80-90 years that rubble behind the wall can still drain. I put in a long ABS drain with my dad in our backyard back around 1970. We used pea gravel so the water could 'filter' through and then up into the drain holes along the pipe. My dad said eventually enough silt would get into that gravel to block the flow of water. In this video I'm seeing that rubble and maybe that pea gravel is good for at least 100 years. It'd be interesting to figure out if frost heave tore into those walls or just water swelling the soil. Along mountain ridges where there'd been glaciers on both sides all the rocks on the ridge are loose. Called an arete. There's a lot of them always called sawtooth, jagged ridge, or in Japanese dikiretto. They've been frost shattered, but not yet moved by the glacier. The ones I've climbed along in japan, Glacier National Park and Scotland, have been there for 10,000 years. Every rock is loose but not really going anywhere - so you can hang on to them. In the winter water fills the cracks, freezes, expands, shifting everything, but when the thaw comes puts them back down in the same place. It's like a retaining wall where every rock fits and any rocks that are going to fall out did so over the past 10,000 years.

Once again, the mud trick comes in handy. I’m using the mud trick on repointing stonework at an old farm my friend is renovating and it works great. Thanks for sharing your experience and keep up the great work. From the comments it looks like some viewers watch your videos to learn masonry techniques and other viewers watch just for entertainment and I think everybody learns something worthwhile.

Hi Mike, I noticed that the last wall you showed had the soil quite a ways lower than the wall. That’s what I was imagining when you were saying about how you want the soil over the top of the wall. That wall was the opposite, and I was wondering if the reason it hadn’t fallen down was because of the big opening area with no wall to the right of that wall? Did that big opening prevent that collapse by it relieving the pressure?

Mike I've watched this video about 50 times and I'm still in awe. Amazing! Quick question: you mentioned the mud bank in the back. Did you pack your concrete all the way and fill that void from the stones to the bank or leave some gaps for drainage? We have a similar situation on a wall out here in Pittsburgh but our wall is intermixed with stone and concrete slabs (think they threw whatever they could get in there). Some folks have said to fill that void with gravel to promote drainage to a pipe, but not sure if it would make sense to just fill it up with more concrete and stone instead. I imagine back in the day they didn't have too much access to gravel.
@MikeHaduck2 жыл бұрын
Hi ,you are correct, they didn't have the gravel and every situation is a bit different, I just take it as it comes, if it has a area to drain I leave it be and if it's mud and dirt and moving I usually pack it, it all depends on how they built it, thanks Mikey
