Jim-  This bag idea would really make the block behave like a plastic pot.
It should work. Thanks for the idea.

|    Why not take some plastic bags from the supermarket  and put them in
the
| holes.   After filling with soil trim with a sharp knife at soil level and
| put several holes in the bottom with a screwdriver or even a piece of coat
| hanger for the important drainage.  This would reuse the bags.  I might
put
| a flower garden in a spot on our bank which is just to steep to mow
easily.
