Introducing the Garden Love Edible Garden DIY project made from Dirt Locker® DIY Raised Garden Beds. Diane from Garden Love installed 600 Dirt Lockers® for terrace gardening and erosion so she could terrace a hill easily. Now she can plant many types of edibles and pollinating flowers!
With the help of family and friends, the Garden Love team created 600 individual, level raised beds on their steep slope and then filled them with rich planting soil. The team configured the Dirt Locker® system easily by snapping all the Dirt Locker® together into a large network without the use of any tools or fasteners. See how easy it is to install a drip irrigation system with the Dirt Lockers®.
The advantage of the Dirt Locker® system is the ability to have isolated planting zones with optimized watering, fertilizing, and soil for each plant’s individual needs.
The Dirt Locker® system stops all hillside water, soil, and nutrient erosion.
Now you can plant any type of plant on steep slopes such as fruit trees, flowers, and vegetables.
Before you consider expensive retaining walls, look at the Dirt Locker® system.
Do you need to install stepping stones or stairs onto your steep slope or hillside? When filled 3/4's soil and topped with landscaping stones or pavers, a Dirt Locker® cell can be transformed into a safe hillside stepping area.
Dirt Locker® is a sloped landscaping solution for hillside front yards and backyards that experience erosion and irrigation issues. We're on a mission to solve your sloped yard's engineering issues with our simple product! The Dirt Locker® gets your garden soil locked and ready to load with fresh fruits, vegetables and plantings in a matter of hours. Learn more about how Dirt Locker® offers hillside transformations from a variety of steepness levels on our FAQ page.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT! I got to visit this Garden Love Homestead property last week & truly love what you were able to accomplish with Dirt-Lockers!
Your newest subscriber!

Thank you very much. Really appreciate that. Was just looking at your products as well. Will definitely be getting some, only use Organics, and really like your mission.
Installed 110 Dirt Loakers this morning. Assemble on the patio and with a few grand boys and son-in-law pulled the assembled set of Dirt Lockers up the in one shot. The only difficulty was pounding in the “J” stakes because of the lack of soil. Now my hill side has a chance to finally grow something we want. Great product great people. I’m totally sold. Planning to do the next install at a nw house we are building.

Thank you Bill. We are here to help in any way for your next project.
Love your product after watching garden love UA-cam.
Thank you very much
Wow other than the dirt locker system, your audio is really great because I noticed that it's windy behind you, and your audio is still fantastic :)
Thank you very much!😊
Love this idea.
Thank you
Omg!! I love this and Garden Love! Great job Diana!!!!👍🏼❤️🥰
can you use dirt lockers if the slope of the hill is not consistent? I have a 25 degree slope at certain parts that tapers down to less than 10 degrees. Would you break up the sections in that case?
Hello, just checking if you ever posted a video of the planting (it said 'stay tuned') or went back to see how it worked out for this family please?
follow @gardenloveHomestead for updates!!
Got 150 seniors, they look great. Can be done solo but don't recommend.
Impressive you did that many solo. Agreed, it’s usually best to work with one or more people.
I would put a rotary spray sprinkle hed instead of tons of drip irrigation system even though it is less efficient.
The good news is, you can implement whatever watering system works best for you.
how many yards of dirt was that for the fill?
I am thinking of getting these. On my hillside back part of yard and adding a walkway and step. Can we mulch too. I don't see an idea with mulch added
Absolutely you can use mulch, we recommend using it for weed control, water conservation, and improving soil over time. Good point though, we need to add some pics using mulch.
@@dirtlocker oh, sweet thank you. It be nice to see a video like that. I hope to make this new small garden area on my steep to almost even slope. I am putting all my ideas and design together. Thank you for the information.
@@jinniema we just released a video an hour or so ago where they put some mulch at the top units, not many of them but it can give a sense of how it would work
we appreciate your comments and feedback!
Wonder if I could plant strawberries on my slope, may work
Sorry I missed this, I’m growing strawberries in some of my cells
I have a slightly sloped hillside and this us great! Do they lock more securely once the dirt is added?
You'll want to make sure you follow the proper J hook application via our brochure on our estimator page on our website for the most security, then add the soil. www.dirtlocker.com
What size DL did you use in this video. It would be very helpful to tell us know what size you are using each time you do a video to give us a visual idea as what it may look on our property. Thank you. Currently waiting for our survey to conclude so that we can order our Dirt Lockers.
Hello Rosa, thank you for your feedback. We always appreciate constructive comments. We mentioned the size at the beginning of the video, however, why it may not be recognized as the size is because we changed our naming convention from Senior, Original, and Junior to Large, Medium and Small. We will look into a way to correct this. So these were Large (formally known as Senior) DLs. Thanks again.
I have a very steep hillside in North Carolina. We have cleared the vegetation and installed heavy duty landscape cloth. I noticed on this video you used gopher mesh. Can we install the dirt locker over the landscape cloth instead (we are not concerned with gophers. Mostly invasive weeds)?
Hello Lea, thanks for your question. Can you tell me what the landscape material is made of or brand?

Is there an answer to this question?
@@billking7568 Hello Bill, apologies, thought this had been answered. Installing the DirtLocker over landscape cloth would defeat the purpose of the DirtLockers somewhat. If you can use a weed barrier that will breakdown over time between the hillside and the DirtLockers, would be best.
All weed barrier breaks down over time, it’s better to plant without weed barrier because you’re essentially going to have to weed again! Best to plant a garden without because if you weed often enough you can stay on top of it with a propane weed burner and that would be less labor intensive and eliminate the need to spray chemicals!
Sorry but how many did you use for the example shown in the video?
How much did you spend on the panels alone?
600 as stated. Pricing is listed on website!
I have a 45 degree incline, maybe more sometimes. Will the dirt locker work on my steep hill?
Yes, please read more in this on our FAQ page here: www.dirtlocker.com/installation-guide
Where is this, Fallbrook?
Can you imagine pulling weeds from 600 sections? Ouch!
Your plants will grow successfully within the nurturing aid of the Dirt Locker® that will lock in moisture, soil, and nutrients. Together, the Dirt Locker® and your plants become a cohesive stabilizing force, protecting your entire hillside from nature’s destructive elements and providing erosion control that improves over time. As your plants increase their root structure, the hillside is constantly increasing in strength AND beauty!
So for 600 of these plastic strips it would cost $7,800! Then the cost of the rebar anchors; then the cost of the fill soil. Then you still have to buy all the plants!? Seems very expensive and labor intensive for what you actually get.
This video shows a very large area that 600 Dirt Lockers can cover. Most projects are not of this size. Our system allows you to create a yielding garden of your choice on a once unusable plot of land. The investment is worth the benefits. When comparing our product price to stone walls to terrace a project of this size you will find we are a more affordable alternative.
How much money for 1 hectar area?

Where was this installed?
This was in Santa Clarita California
You know you could have gone around the tree it was probably older than you are. Otherwise I like the product.
This may be cheaper than an actual retaining wall but having to plant every dirt locker cell doesn’t leave much room for design concepts! This hillside looks like filling them with soil would take nothing short of a Herculean effort. I’m not crazy about the look and believe this hillside would be better to be addressed with boulders.
For the system to work you only need about 50%-70% of your Dirt Lockers filled with plants. The remaining cells can be designated for a stepping path in a design of your choice. The plants and placement is also part of the design. The possibilities are endless. Dirt Lockers are lighter than boulders and therefor an easier alternative for homeowners looking to landscape their hillside on their own.
@@dirtlocker - I’ll just say that I have yet to see a finished product that I was very impressed with and boulders would look more natural!
