Excellent. Thanks. I did have another idea.. if I reduced the size of the retaining wall to say 20cms, I could use thick branches / trunks from recehtky cut trees. Just curious how long it would take before they’d rot. I’m thinking branches of at learn 8-10cms in diameter.0

Would you be able to see the sandbags? Presumably there’s no issue with drainage as it’s only holding back a foot in height of soil?0 -
