I expect the cardboard to be pretty much gone in 6 months. As far as the chicken wire - I do expect to get a few years out of it, and even then I can use wire to patch it up, a bit like darning a sock ;-) Here the Roads and Traffic Authority use a similar method for retaining walls and they work OK and are in place for a number of years including places they get high rainfall and snow.

What do you have under the rock logs? I couldn't see using chicken wire where I am in Pennsylvania; It's so wet here in the winter and spring that they would probably rust through in a season. However, I'm wondering how well sandbags would do. This is very interesting, thanks. Great post. What do you have under the rock logs?
