OK here's my problem. I need to pour a small 6" wide footing to use
for Retaining wall bricks. I am going to use the footing to hold the
brick in place by making it wide enough so the lip of the brick is
held in place by the footing.E.G.
______
I I Retaining wall brick
_ I___

I__ I
Footing I_______I
Now my problem is I have soft clay soil where I want to put the
footing. Itwould be about 8 feet long, but I am not sure how deep I am
going to have to go in order to hit solid ground. I will be putting
only one row of bricks on this footing. I was thinking of driving some
steel rods or poles to help anchor it to the cement. Or would a lot of
rebar help.
