Built this two-step retaining wall for my wife this weekend (two of the hottest days on record in the Chicago area). She wants plants in the front area and mostly decorative things in the taller back. I'm wondering what to fill the back area with. I'm afraid if I fill it with topsoil only it will settle quite a bit - maybe half gravel / half topsoil (back section is about 20" tall)?
