I made raised beds using cinderblocks. I used Loctite construction adhesive to attach the blocks to each other. I have a lot of rocks in my garden, so i filled my blocks with rocks as I found them in the soil. It's been 10 years and I have no movement in them. Very pleased. I'm about to build a cinder block wall for my greenhouse and I'm wondering if you have any movement in your walls because I didn't see you connect them together in any way. Was it just the weight of the concrete that keeps them together?
Did you dig a ditch to help with the leveling? It looks like some of the block is in the ditch and some aren't? Is it necessary to mortar between the blocks?
I liked the idea of using cinder blocks. I plan to use the same for the foundation. I have few questions 1) Do you think using rebars is essential? Or it can be done without using rebars 2) Instrad of using a wet pour concrete, is it gonna be easy if we use a dry pour concrete and use the mist to wet it? 3) Are you going to use 6x4 or 4x4 lumber to put on top of that foundation? Eagerly waiting for the next video on how did you go about the walls, other greenhouse materials used?

Great project!! Can't wait to see the finished product! We will be building a greenhouse soon, I think we'll follow your lead! Greetings from Texas!
Thanks so much!! It is a lot of manual labor but those types of projects are the most fulfilling once complete!

Great Start to the greenhouse, Lots of hard work. A little wetter concrete was probably easier to work with in that situation.
Thank you! Yeah so true! Really did help. After a few bags we got into a better rhythm with the amount of water.
I love this idea. The greenhouse is going to be awesome!
Thanks a lot! It is something I have been wanting for years. I am like a little kid with how excited I am.
What a lovely home you have, that greenhouse is going to be a fantastic addition to your self sufficiency journey 😀
Thank you! It will make our garden feel more official that's for sure. It is something that will benefit us tremendously. I simply cannot wait.
