Geofoam was also used in embankments and bridge abutments for base stability. [4] Subsequently, because of the success of usage of geofoam for the I-15 Reconstruction Project, the Utah Transit Authority has used geofoam embankment for its light rail (i.e., TRAX) and commuter rail lines (i.e., FrontRunner).

Bartholomew understood the problem as one of garden design, saying that he started to seek "an easy, fool-proof, continual-garden method that would work in small spaces and require less work, with a high yield."
The use of fibers such as polypropylene and steel in conjunction with geogrids enhances strength and energy absorption while reducing slippage, shear, and bond strength. Geogrids are particularly effective in thin concrete layers and prefabricated structures, providing resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and temperature variations.
The use of compost, manure mulch and other organic fertilizers yields a higher organic content of soils on organic farms and helps limit soil degradation and erosion. [6] Other methods such as composting or vermicomposting (composting using worms) can also be used to supplement an existing garden. These practices are ways of recycling organic ...
