yeah boosting it up with a wooden base was an idea i had, but i kind of wanted the challenge of building a wall! cheers for the tips. it's all going into the garden design ideas book.

Building walls is comparatively easy, so long as you can follow a string line and build a right angle. When I started out I just assumed that if a fat builder with the social graces of a dead dog and a similar odour could do it, so could I.

The skill is in building them quickly, I think. My dad fancies himself as a bit of a bricklayer, but his father did it for a living and he could lay bricks about four times faster.
