Need "guidance" on how to prodeed with a block wall for bog

@TAHOE Do you know what they're called so I can Google for more information?

@tbendl How did you negotiate the curves when you set the blocks? I've seen some places where they have cut "wedges" for that, but seems like a PITA!

Here's a couple different styles of what I was referring to.

My masterpiece painting. I know I should add a copyright tag on it but I'mma trust you.
I made sure the corners touched. packed the gaps with sand, covered with that tar paper and then rocked on the outside.

Here is a manufacturer chart on height reinforcing requirements for Landscape wall block. Anything over 3 feet does require reinforcement, in this chart they use geotextile. Stay under 3 feet and there should not be an issue.
Keep in mind that all wall block such as those described in the links provided by @TAHOE incorporate a 'lip' to insure proper set-back.

Well Red, as I said in another post, I can work the tv remote in the dark. It's almost a crime to be that gifted AND be a painter. Hehe
