STEP 1: ALIGN J HOOKS AT TOP
STEP 2: ASSEMBLE DIRT LOCKERS
- Assemble Dirt Lockers® (matte side facing out) at the bottom of hill by inserting the cell tab into the cell slot to complete your first row.
- Connect each additional row by inserting the row tab into the center slot.
- For curved or 36°-45° slopes, follow these steps: watch how to create separate rows

STEP 3: ANCHOR SYSTEM
- Carry system up hill and anchor over hooks at the intersections. This might require a few people to help.
- Once in place, pull system from bottom rows to form even semi-circle cells. See step 2 if creating separate rows.
- Pro Tip! Align top row with J hooks, so there is one J hook per end and at each intersection.

STEP 4: J HOOKS & BACKFILL
- Fill the top row with soil halfway, sculpting each cell into a near perfect semi-circle, from left to right. Then, mallet the J hooks all the way down.
- Continue filling the top row with soil 1" from top, sculpting each cell into a "C" shape with vertical walls. NO "V" or wavy shapes! Repeat for each row, one at a time, leveling as you go left to right.

STEP 5: PLANT!
- Plant 50-70% of your system with native species for best results.
- Pro Tip! Start with smaller native plants, allowing them to acclimate. You are no longer limited to hillside plants since each Dirt Locker® creates a terraced area.
