Terraces with Stone Walls

PREPARATION FOR A VINEYARD Terraces necessary for many vineyards. This has to do with those located on the hillsides. A series of low stone walls above each other, are constructed along the side of the hill, to keep the soil in place, and at the right level for growing grapes. Remains of old terraces in various places indicate that this custom has been practiced for many centuries. [Manners And Customs of Bible Lands]
