Do you have a pic of the landscape timber while being put in? I thought about using concrete blocks under the liner to make the wall.

Edit:
How much force do you think the wall will have to hold back? The bog at its current size is 9'x5'x18"

We used landscape timbers, drilled and stuck rebar through them, the ends are anchored in concrete.

Mine is around 27 feet long, 2.5 feet deep, 4ish feet wide. 38000 lbs of pea gravel. Still holding just fine.

Yep 100 bags. When I bought a few bags of pea gravel I bought it in the construction area of Lowes, it was cheaper than the stuff in the nursery area. I have not looked recently.

I had my pea gravel delivered by a truck, but I needed 38000 lbs.

I dont think 100 bags will fit in there. But maybe I dont understand pea gravel.
