Ok this is probably a dumb question...BUT..how do you secure the blocks and
keep them from moving..mortar? stakes? or just weight?  I'd love to have
this(when we actually get around to moving into that house we are hoping for
this year) but would want is at least 2 blocks high, mom is 70+ and I've got a
bad back, right now we have a plot(OK 5 raised plots) in our Apt community
garden and pay a teen to haul bags of soil/etc around..but it would be nice
not to have to squat down as much.
