METHOD FOR TERRACE SLOPE FORMING Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC E02D17/20 E02D29/02 

FIELD: agriculture, particularly steep slope terracing to adapt the slope for fruit trees and other crops growth.

SUBSTANCE: method for terracing slopes having steepness equal to or exceeding natural soil slip angle involves forming step-shaped ledges having depressions; scattering soil excavated from the slope over the ledges; stabilizing the soil with reusable rectangular netted retaining walls. The retaining wall has frame-like wall base created of welded angular or channel bars or bars of another cross-section. The wall bases are installed on the slope along lower ledge bounds and inclined at 60° angle with respect to horizon line. The wall bases are fixed by support and bearing wedges for a time equal to soil conglomeration time, wherein liquid or granular fertilizer is preliminarily introduced in soil and soil is laid down with perennial grass before ledge hardening.

EFFECT: increased slope use factor.
