To earth up, in Gardening, one says to earth up a tree when earth is piled round its base in order to contain it, which is commonly practised when the earth is cool and protects plants from excessive damp.
One also says to earth up a ranging-pole, when its base is raised to the height of the level, just as earth is removed from the base when the ranging-pole is too high. [1]
