Does anyone have experience with stabilizing earth using soil nails?

They are used to stabilize hillsides, embankments, can often be seen next to roads. It's basically a rod with a metal plate at the end that's drilled into the soil/rock with cement to hold it in place and provide a grabbing force on the surrounding soil.

I'm thinking of using these to stabilize a 6 foot deep x 6 foot wide trench. Possibly with a thin layer of ferrocement on the sides of the trench.

Thanks Anne, I'll have a look.

Anyone have any tips on what varieties of Hazelnut would be good to use in Missouri (6a) in a clay soil, that would be good for coppicing and blight resistant?

Ideally that would also produce nuts at a very young age, so as the coppice would be growing to maturity it would have nut harvests available. I'm looking for something similar to the european hazelnut (Corylus avellana) that you can coppice on a 7 year cycle, at the end of which produces rods about 10-12 feet long and 3" or so butt diameter.

I'd like a drawing & pictures of the newest design for the urine diverter, I've looked everywhere I could think of and saw the vids but didn't see such a pictures, I'm guessing for obvious reasons  Would it be possible for me to offer some coin ($10?) for someone that's currently there to take a few pics and make a drawing?

Is the newest urine diverter design working well? Where can I find a drawing/schematic?

Thank you Anne!

Are there any plans for a willow feeder, maybe the latest iteration?  

Also, an instruction guide for what to do with the collections?

I found a number of threads but would like to know if there's a condensed version of the current state of the art.

Thanks!

Are the live zoom discussions being recorded?

If yes, is there a thread with a listing for them?

I'm unable to attend the live zooms but would like to follow along as I'm hoping to be able to build a similar structure this November. A single resource with all the relevant designs, plans, discussion threads, zooms, would be wonderful.

I'm having trouble getting seed for Precocious Hazelnut variety sold by Oikos, can only find small plants and have a big enough area to plant that this wouldn't be practical. Anyone have seed or runner for this variety of hazelnut?

Thanks!

Thanks Paul! And yes, I had a look at that thread but I'm afraid I didn't quite understand the proper format/procedure for invoking the rule. Sorry about that
