Brick wall planter

[grifter]

I intend to build a planter which will be about 20" wide all round, 1900mm x 1600mm in an L-shape. I want it to be 9 courses high and single skin due to space. I've poured concrete foundations 5" thick and 9" wide all the way round the area shape. Can anyone tell me if I'm thinking correctly with regards to the height and strength I want before I commense. It will be a continuous built shape so strong I hope.
Also, based on these dimensions, can anyone estimate for me the number of bricks I would need to do this.
Thanks

Eh?

Twenty inches wide.....all round......'L' shape.....?

At a guess i would say it will be 7m long. At 9 courses high this amounts to a little under 290 (metric 215mm x 65mm) bricks.

Thanks for that. Do you think the foundations are adequate, which I've done already? I was told it would be fine, done it, then remembered this forum.

Found's sound good to me.

Ah good. I'm on the right track then. Thanks for the reassurance Noseall
