Seams weren't leaking, just had a large blowout in front of the wall and the water spewed out inside the dike. It almost took us out last year. we piled a shit load of bags on it and slowed it down enough for it to freeze(thank god it was like 10 degrees outside that night)

I dont think that the plastic draped over a wood wall is going to help with pressure, but I am not an expert.
No, the plastic on the ground protruding from the wall... We were trying to stop the downward force of the water and preventing water from taking out the ground below the wall/planter -
the plastic out onto the ground wont help much in the way of keeping water from coming up behind the wall but it should help keep soil from eroding out from under it. bag up behind the wall a bit and add some weight like you did before. or bag the entire ground to combat the pressure?
was the blow out near one of the holes for your pumps? you could have been pumping sediment out from under your wall to cause the failure...

it was near a pump hole, but when the water went down, there was a huge hole in the ground Outside the wall. We bagged over the top of where the big hole was and back filled it with clay also. -
