Done a lot of erosion control projects in Malibu. When the dry up comes incorporating concrete lined V-Ditches above the green houses and French drains around them could help divert run off. Saved a bunch of Citrus and Avocado ranches from ending up in the Pacific that way. Good luck stay safe.

With a little luck & 3 of us pulling the tarp, we got the lower hillside below greenhouse #1 covered with a big sheet of plastic. This should keep the rain from eroding away the hillside. There is a LOT of water coming off the roof of the greenhouse & it gets deposited right next to the greenhouse...

No way to install gutters with a down spout connected to a 4"-6" flex pipe to divert the water away?\

The water running off hasn't been a issue i think every thing will still be just fine in the spring. It was compacted when the dirt was moved the rye grass all took root and is holding the hill together great just taking a few extra precautions just in case

The wood ones would probably be better than when we don't need them anymore we can burn them instead of paying to get rid of them

Question....
Why the pallets? To keep the gophers/moles out? Prevent root rot? Please explain the use of the pallets.
I like my Smart pots on the ground for the added area for the roots to expand into, the water retention (pots not drying out as fast), and all the nutrients that leach into the ground below the pots is available for the expanded root zone to use up. Please explain to me PC the reason for the pallets.
Thanks,
TMB-

That's something I have been contemplating. Mine grew into the ground this year which means moving them into the greenhouse, as planned, didn't really happen. I moved one and it was like looking at a still photo of a plant for about a week. Then she continued to bulk up for about a week. Then she developed black mold. May she rest in peace.
