A friend, in his travels, has seen the garden wall shown at

The wall is evidently mostly two thin brick walls, perhaps with ties
between, and with a sufficient layer of earth at the top between, and
something to hold that layer up, and maybe drainage - most of that is
guessed. In the picture, it is growing little bushes.

We would like to know VERY ROUGHLY what the cost might be for 20 metres
of such a wall, with earth but not plants, so as to choose between "We
can easily afford that", "We must investigate further", and "Far too
expensive, we'll do something else".

Failing that, we would like to know what that sort of wall is properly
called, to help with our Google/Wikipedia research.


remember and factor in those two courses of engineering bricks as a DPC

then again why did they bother?....

Habit without thought presumably.
