Seeing how creek banks hold shape changed my mix for sloped posts

Noticed the packed earth stays put during heavy rains. Started adding more gravel to my concrete base on hillsides.

Nature shows us how to build things that last, if we pay attention. Your find with creek banks and your concrete mix is spot on. How many other fixes are we missing by not copying what already works?

We overcomplicate stuff ignoring nature's proven designs.

Exactly, we miss so many fixes. Look at how tree roots hold soil together, that's free engineering we ignore.
