Wow, I have always wanted to do a conceptual garden design, but have only been building gardens for 18 years so am far too inexperienced and stupid.
It is slightly more important to build correctly. I give the eagerly waiting forum 'how not to build a retaining wall'. Two skins of blocks on end, with a void between and no weep holes to allow for drainage, the structural strengh of wet spaghetti would be greater. This beauty was only holding back a few hundred tons of permanently wet soil. Four inches of mortar masquerading as foundations was an added bonus.
'Is the breach practicable, Captain Sharpe?'.
