Concrete retaining wall in garden.


Retaining walls hold strong, durable and long-lasting, but require careful preparation .
Basic steps to get a bored concrete wall that you should know
👉1: Plan for a wall that is at least 12 inches wide at the top, with a foundation slab or toe that is at least 50 percent as wide as it is tall.
👉2: Dig a trench the length of the wall with a shovel..
Add an additional base of 6 or more inches of gravel if the soil is sandy or not hard.Fill the foot with concrete and let it cure for about a week.
👉3: Choose one of four wall types: gravity; semi-gravity; cantilever; and vice versa.
👉4: Create forms with wooden boards and 2-by-4-inch orientation boards.
👉5: Coat the inside of the forms with mineral oil so the concrete will not stick. Add any rebar as needed. Test with a level to make sure the forms are level and cumbersome.
👉6: Pour concrete in .
Rent a concrete truck or dump a wheelbarrow for small walls, removing any internal bracing once the concrete reaches that level. Smooth the top of the wall with a mason's trowel when the appropriate height is reached.
👉7: Leave the wall for a week, then remove the form.
Place a layer of gravel or perforated sewer pipes at the bottom of the back of the wall to drain the water. Cover with soil, compacting it .

👉What Kind of Vinegar Products

Hình ảnh
The typical vinegar you use in the kitchen is 5% vinegar, which means contains 5% acetic acid and 95% water. This type of vinegar weed killer is best used on small and annual weeds with several applications to best prevent weeds. You can also add a tablespoon of dish soap with a cup of table salt to a gallon of white vinegar to kill the top of the weed, but not its roots. Be careful with the salt build-up in the soil from your homemade mixture because it can hide something growing on it. However, white vinegar weed killers in the store cannot work well with older weeds, perennials, or grasses when you spray vinegar on them. Because the root system of these plants is so tough that requires a 20% vinegar solution. This type of vinegar weed killer is also known as horticultural vinegar pesticides.
