Oh, adhering to a semi-vertical surface only works well if there is enough moisture in both the surface being packed upon and the material being packed. I was packing as the track hoe was throwing and spreading. A fast 2" rain did cut some ruts in the sides, but none were over a few inches deep.
I may wish I would have waited to have the funds to pack it with a sheep's foot roller. Time will tell...
I've got good clay, about 4' down, where the second part of this pond system will be dug. I just have to wait, until I have the cash or the wife tells me to do it to get the material to build up for the new house, garage, and shop.
