Stormy, the hardest part was getting the ground level. So DH says. As far as the ag pipe goes : he dug a trench behind the wall, put down gravel, then the ag pipe on top of the gravel & then gravel on top of the ag pipe. He also installed plastic sheeting behind the wall, so that the soil wouldn't seep between the blocks.
Hope that helps
Thanks so much, Southies!
We've had a look at the Adbi AB Aussie ones, and they are slightly taller than the Boral ones, so it looks promising for 3 rows of the Adbi ones. A basic quote including capping comes to $2.7K just for the blocks and capping. Lots more to plan and think about, but thanks for your help!!

2 years in and my birthday has come and gone again - thank goodness Don't need to be reminded how time is getting away The upside is that with grown offspring, I get decent pressies - woo hoo
So my beloveds (that includes my DH, of course [ img ]) all pitched in to get me a single present. It was quite a surprise! Actually more of a shock because DH actually paid attention to me when I oohhd & aaahhd at this thing hanging in the shop window. .
Well here it is..........a gorgeous mirror! and the bonus was that it was 20% off when DH bought it . Now that's my kind of present
