That's garbage.  Build a parapet with a top of a minimum 10 feet. 
Compact
the material.  Then pound 1" or larger diameter rebar into the front of
the
top of the parapet every 2".  Any incoming APFSDS that goes all the way
through the parapet will hit the rebar.  That will both slightly
horizontally deflect and massively deform the incoming round.  The round
will then loose most of its energy travelling through the rest of the
parapet.

This is an extrapolation of a very nifty technique the Swede's used to
up-armor (for wartime use  only, it was secrets for many years) the
S-103b.
They had steel bars that would fit into very the front of the S-103b. 
Is it
any wonder that Sweden was the first country to deploy the top attack
anti-tank missile?
