I would like to build a raised bed in the garden, 1 side would be the house, 1 side the shared garden wall. The third side would be a curved one which I want to build. I've dug the trench for the foundation and got all the bricks. Easy bit done.
The wall will be no higher than 2/3 bricks above ground level.
I need some help with what I would be suitable foundations.
I was going to buy foundation blocks, but when I went to see them they were massive, about 12" deep so I thought that was a bit overkill. From what I gather I could get away with 150mm foundations. I looked at premix concrete but I'd have to spend about £180 to get enough. Is there an alternative?
Could I use a a course of dense concrete block and pour on a couple of inches of concrete to heighten and fill in the gaps created by the curve?
