[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3171861, member: 25679"] Based on my experience, as a young fellow you can stack those half rotten RR ties and make a barrier to hold the earth behind them but as you age-and the RR ties do also, you'll have less-if any energy to replace the bad ties and they'll roll when you walk on them. I used old RR ties and Rebar to hold them in place and it wasn't easy. I think I'd use those concrete blocks that another poster mentioned. Even the home builders use them when they do a yard after building a home. They seem to hold up well, don't rot and the termites don't care for them at all. Do the job once and do it right and you won't have to redo the job. It may cost a little more but it's a one-time deal. [/QUOTE]
