I'm trying to incorporate a lot of what I'm learning here. I think eventually I'll be able to use this information to make a much larger pond, but for my little 9 X 30 footer how would this work?
You could cut the earth with a skid-loader (as pictured above), then lay out some inexpensive tightly woven garden fabric, then use the vertical earth to support the lower level of cinder blocks, then drive high quality fence posts into the holes, before filling with whatever it is you fill cinder blocks with for reinforcement.
After this you could pour some concrete over the fabric and up against the lower level of cinder block to pin the block against the earth.
I still haven't figured out what you do with cinder blocks in a curve situation.
Does this idea have any merit? I like a lot of the other ideas better, but I'm dealing with an extreme budget here.
Too bad I'm not like Ryan. I'd create some really cool looking graphics.
