Adhesive for stone garden wall?
I'm going to build a short circular well to create a raised garden bed - 6' in diameter and 2-3' tall.
I'm planning on using those cast retaining wall blocks that DON'T have the lips on the back. I think I like the look of these better than the ones with the lips that tend to look like they were cast.
My question is: since these don't have those lips on the back, do I need to use adhesive between courses?

Hi Doc,
Yes and don't forget to use landscape cloth between the soil and the wall.

Mine definitely do not have lips. The 3' is the max height. Depending on how it looks, I may decide to go shorter. That stone is expensive......
One way or the other, I plan on using fabric between the stone and the soil.
I'm assuming I should put down some sort of base, even if its a few inches of driveway stone. We get some serious heavage in the winter in our corner of north central indiana.
