Hello, a couple of years ago I laid out a small (8x8ft) raised bed for growing veg in. One layer of bricks below soil level, then two more layers above ground. I was going to cement it but didn't bother in the end and it worked out ok. I'm thinking of doing it properly now and have a couple of questions.
There's no hardcore at the moment, so I was wondering if I'd be able to use a load of stones (probably 1-5cm in size)? I got them from sieving the soil for the veg patch, so they're just average garden stones. I also have a load of broken terracotta pots but they get damaged by frost so they're probably no use.
Second questions is, I've got a bag of postcrete leftover so was wondering if I could use that for the mortar?
The wall is only holding a few inches of soil back and would only be 2 bricks high above ground, so doesn't need to be particularly strong.
Thanks for any help!
