Square Foot Gardening List - http://myweb.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Andrea-  I have been installing a 2 inch thick by one foot high raised bed
retaining wall around the corn and perennial beds in the garden. I found a
local supplier who regularly keeps in stock an attractive type of stone
called "Charmin". (I buy a few peices each payday and should be finished in
a month or so.) I will feature pics and story later in the year on the web
site.

I just wanted to suggest you consider using a stone retaining wall, or
consider using stone as one attractive element in your solution to your bank
problem. It can be easy to work with, available in various colors, and is
durable too.

Keep us informed of your progress will you?
Haveagreatday,
bill missen.

|    How steep is your bank?  Would a 16 inch wall give you a decent amount
of

| without mortar for just two tiers if you put a stake down thru the hole on
| the high side that would hold the second tier enough.  You could plant
hens
| and chickens in the cracks along with other things.  maybe even some ivy.
| It would look much better than the plastic which you would have to anchor
| anyway.  If you set the second tier back halfway you could have many
things
| growing in the holes.  Whichever way you go, make sure to provide enough
| drainage.  Cinder blocks with no mortar would do that automatically.
