Backfill a Retaining wall

This video shows how a Retaining wall should be back-filled to allow for maximum drainage. When we build a retaining wall we don't only hold back the soil we hold back the water as well. This must be allowed to drain away otherwise Hydrostatic pressure will cause our wall to fail.
