| Apr 6, 2016 at 11:32 | comment | added | Chasester | you know what, I need to try and sketch this - I hadn't thought drainage pipe was necessary. | |

| Apr 6, 2016 at 10:17 | comment | added | Phlume | I agree... dry lay the stone and don't worry about cuts. As I learned from the master mason that taught me "stone walls are merely a puzzle... take the time to locate the piece that is 'made' for the spot you are looking for." Stone dust and crusher stone will help you with the first row of base and then piece it together trying out the different stones as needed. Remember to not build straight up too... set the stones in just a bit so the wall angles back toward the bed about 5-10 degrees. This will help to offset the pressure applied from the bed. | |
