    There’s a park on the lake near me that has a retaining wall that steps down into the lake swimming area built this way. The bags are rotted away so they’re just concrete pillows now. They’re been there at least 20 years

      That’s exactly how I built a retaining wall at my last house. It had rotting railroad ties that I got rid of and I just stacked bags of concrete before it rained. The concrete set, the bags degraded, and I had a cool retaining wall in my back yard.
