I wish I had a picture of how it was done as it was very clever. Essentially,the design product would go as follows: 1, level the ground and make the footings deep enough for the cinderblocks to lie flush with the top of the ground; 2, Lay the cinder blocks in the footing you dug side by side with the cinder block open to the ground and sky; and 3, fill the openings in the cinderblocks with fine gravel. Not sure how much it would cost, but has served this particular ownder well for 6 years.

Its usually much cheaper. When I worked at one you could buy about a ton for less than $50 but you would need a good pickup truck to get it.
