Earth Creep - Soil Creep
the slow movement of earth materials downwards under the power of gravity. The ground is generally lubricated by an honest deal of moisture or aided by frost heave (q.v.). Four sorts of creep were identified by Sharpe (1938): soil creep, talus creep, rock-glacier creep, and rock creep. the primary concerns only fine-grained particles; the others involve rock debris. Soil sneak in subpolar latitudes and at high altitude grades imperceptibly into solifluction (q.v.) phenomena and into earthflow in temperate latitudes

How to Stop Earth Creep From a Hillside
Wind and water take away soil particles until eventually the richer topsoil, filled with organic matter, is eradicated. Heavy rains can then cause large mudflows or landslides to comb away much of the remaining bare soil. Covering and anchoring the slope's dirt is important to stop further damage, with one or more various methods.
Divert Water
Gravity pulls water from the highest of Capitol Hill to rock bottom, and therefore the water grabs soil along the way, causing serious erosion over time. Water movement is often controlled in various ways. Dig drainage ditches or trenches to maneuver the water during the desired direction. Or place gutters at the highest of Capitol Hill to direct water into a dry well that holds the runoff until it seeps slowly into the bottom. Smaller stone, or riprap, are often placed right along the hillside to slow the water's descent and protect the soil underneath from being over-excited.
Mats and Walls
Erosion control mats or blankets are made from woven biodegradable materials like straw, coconut or wood. Placed on the slope, they hold the dirt in situ for six to 12 months before needing to be replaced. While nonbiodegradable mats also exist, they will be difficult to get rid of if your landscaping needs change. Retaining walls are an aesthetically pleasing choice for several homeowners with erosion issues. Available in several materials -- concrete, wood, or stone, as an example -- they will be placed strategically to prevent erosion at the highest of a hill, midway, or at rock bottom. And counting on budget constraints, they will be created professionally or by a motivated homeowner.
Create Steps
Terraces are basically stairs built into a slope with various materials, like stone, concrete, or wood. The steps divert water and stop it from carrying soil down the hillside. Water will soak into the soil instead. Landscaping and gardens are often built on and around the terrace steps to make further soil anchors. they will be a less costly choice to stop a significant erosion problem.
Landscaping Anchors
Cover exposed soil with a spread of plants -- trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals -- to make a barrier that stops soil movement from both wind and water. The plants' roots will hold the soil in situ, as well. Lay mulch or stone between plants to supply additional coverage of exposed dirt. For the simplest results, know what sort of soil covers your slope, and choose native plants that thrive therein soil type.

Salinity And Natural Salts
Salts are released naturally when rocks break down, the foremost predominant being common salt or common salt. Other salts include compounds of magnesium, potassium, and calcium. When the amount becomes elevated soils are damaged and crop production is diminished.
Salt problems occur naturally within the landscape, but many areas become saline thanks to an excess clearing of vegetation, over-cultivation, and poor irrigation practices. the top result's that plants find it harder to soak up water from the soil; plants wilt more readily, produce less growth and in severe cases, tissues are damaged. Eventually, sensitive plants will die and salt-affected areas show a greatly reduced sort of plant growth.
Salt Crystals And Soil Test
In extreme cases, a white crust of dried salt forms on the soil surface and really few plants are ready to survive.
The standard unit used when measuring salt levels is decisions per meter (ds/m). this is often measured using an electrical conductivity meter (EC meter). The greater the extent of dissolved salt, the upper the reading These readings are often converted into a measure which is simpler to visualize referred to as parts per million (ppm). A 1000 ppm water sample contains 1 gram of dissolved salt in each liter of water. Few crops are productive if levels are in more than 2500 ppm. or 2.5 grams of dissolved salt per liter of water.
Irrigation In Hobby Farm
Sadly, salt accumulation has become a priority on my hobby farm thanks to the dry conditions and lack of fresh irrigation water. Reduced rainfall has resulted in the build from salt near the soil surface. this happens as water evaporates from the soil surface and crystals form. Irrigation restrictions mean I'm unable to scrub excess from near the basis system of the young trees and these young plants are showing signs of stress. I expect many of the young trees to be damaged and not survive subsequent summer. Increased levels of salt also are causing the formation of a crust or hardening of the soil surface. this is often damaging the essential structure of the soil and affecting the germination of some plant seeds.
Soil Salinity Management
These methods include:
- Raising soil levels by mounding the soil before planting,
- Adding organic matter like compost,
- Not over cultivating soil and planting salt-tolerant crops.
There is however no substitute for an honest rain as this may wash away much of the salt which accumulates near the soil surface during times of drought.
Salt control is one of the more important problems to be faced if the hobby farm is to sustain various range of plants and animals. Rainwater collection and storage are going to be vital if this threat is to be overcome. it's an important requirement for all times, but in excess, it's a sure recipe for disaster.
