Hi
I built a retaining wall for my flower bed but it keeps on sinking due to the large amount of rain we get out here. Do you have any suggestions for keeping it put without it sinking?

You need to make a foundation of rocks and gravel.

So dig about 6" to 12" down than compact the dirt, then and not to big of rocks (about 1 1/2"to 2" about 5" deep, then add the gravel and then put your wall back on top.
