They will place them where I tell them to. I will set up a foundation of railroad ties at each location.
Earth bags are woven plastic bags full of dirt that is tamped to form a solid wall. barbed wire is placed between layers to keep it from sliding.

wow..the earth bags. Is there videos showing how they do that? who would want a dirt wall?
There are youtube videos on earth bag construction.
Some of the dirt walls in Egypt are 4,000 years old, so I guess it works....
:)>I'll look those up but I still don't know who would want one.
The ability for one person to make a wall, at a tenth the cost that is fireproof, bulletproof, and resistant to earthquakes, is the driving reasons for this construction. If the outside is covered to avoid UV damage, the wall is effectively permanent.
:)>ok but what holds it in place? well, I'll just go look it up on youtube.
Gravity, it is compressed (tamped) and dries in place. These walls are strong enough to support roof beams for a building.
:)>well they should be stronger than that if they can be kept in place. Plus being good insulation and sound barrier I imagine. and pretty much bullet proof like you said.
