Buried Tires Stop Erosion

Buried Tires Stop Erosion TIRES/WHEELS New Uses 21-5-10 To stop continued erosion through a gulley on his farm near Macombe, Ill., Marshall Litchfield and his brother Kendell buried old tractor and truck tires under layers of gravel and rocks. The Litchfields buried two layers of large tractor tires on the downhill side of the slope and put rows of truck tires along the uphill side. The tires are filled with crushed rock. The men figure the tires and rocks will hold enough soil to root grass which will even further boost holding power of the inexpensive water stopper.
