Construction and footings for small garden wall (numerous threads merged)

It depends what you are building. If it's a low garden wall of a few courses, you'd possibly get away with it, but for anything substantial you need to make the footings properly.

What number of old bricks?

You can shove anything in the concrete you want, but it’s not really the way to go. But no doubt it will do the job.

How far down are you digging to put this ‘footing’ in?

Are you putting in two birds for every stone? It’ll takes ages to catch them:D
