You are probably going to think I"m nuts but this is how I did it. I live in the mountains and my property is on a steep slope. I needed a terrace 5"long and 60" feet long. I stacked old tires stuffed with dirt 4.5 feet high at about a 15 degree angle into the bank. I covered (fronted) the tires with rock with the top rock overlapping the top of the tires. I back filled with dirt covering all tire exposure. Did this 40 years ago and nothing has moved. I took down a section of the wall about six months ago and saw that the tires were full of roots. It seems that water collects in the tires providing moisture for the plants duing dry times. I"m building another one now 50 feet long. Good luck. HTH.
