Thanks Bob- 'sandbags' is kind of misnomer in my case, that's what they are commerically
speaking, meaning I purchased sand bags, but I filled them with local adobe soil and
tamped them down into basically a rammed earth wall, constructed one bag at a time,
mortared together with barbed wire and encased paper/adobe/lime stucco reinforced with
metal mesh and pinned vertically with rebar at 3 foot increments. As for the foundation
section, its fist sized rock inside of bags to a height of two feet above grade, also coated
with said metal mesh and etc. It can't balloon out and collapse because the metal mesh is
tied at one foot intervals through the center of the wall and to the opposite face of metal
mesh.
