Thanks but was trying not to spend much (if any!) money...I've decided on
roof slates about a foot wide and two foot long, buried about a foot deep
giving me a foot above ground? - I can get slates for free and I'll only
need about twenty, I'm just wondering if they will effectively hold the soil
back or if it will leak through the gaps? - our soil is very fine and sandy.
