how does the clay/soil not fall out after level 1 of the wall?

@theproducegarden We put in cardboard in the bottom of the tires.

@earthship does it just break down though or is the clay hard as rock by then? cheers

[earthship]

@theproducegarden it eventually breaks down and goes away. and by the end everything is encased and complete.

This must be an improvement, since it's not mentioned in vol. 1

@theproducegarden You put in cut up squares of cardboard to keep the dirt from falling through.  I'm going to have a bit a tougher time when I do mine. Most of my soil is sand.
