	Wordwizard Clubhouse - change in the meaning of the word berm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		My understanding of BERM was a mound /bank of earth usually used as a protective visual/sound barrier or placed against an exterior wall or walls of a house or other building as protection against extremes of temperature.
		BERM is first recorded in 1854 (as ‘berm-bank’), in the sense of ‘the bank of a canal opposite the towing path.’ So now the term had evolved from the flat path adjoining a slope or bank to the bank itself.
		BERM noun: 1) a narrow shelf, path, or ledge typically at the top or bottom of a slope; also a mound or wall of earth or sand berm> 2) the shoulder of a road.

	Landscaping a berm
		Because a berm is a steep slope, unless it's full of concrete or made of stolid, compacted clay, it is going to drain fast; water will tend to roll down it before it soaks in.

		The berm was set yesterday...the dirt they used was very nice...very clean...it had a good sand/dirt content...not very clay-ey.
