Gene, when I was at your place in Phoenix you showed me a wall made in ferrocrete. I would like a discussion on this technique as I may be building a wall about 100 feet long. One end will be about 3 feet high shrinking to grade at the other end. I am thinking one end will be a plain flat wall for maybe 20 feet then go to a more free form shape as it shrinks. The free form end will have built in benches and maybe a flat top near the end. I do not have final dimensions as grading will not be complete for another several weeks.
