    As a general rule of thumb a third of the size in the ground. Use postcrete to set. I do warn you it’s a beast of an undertaking, here’s my efforts from last year 


    Firstly, this looks fantastic!
    Secondly, I've a couple of a couple of questions as I'm planning something similar this summer, albeit the step up between levels in my garden is only about 50cm. 

    - Did you fix each sleeper to the next? If so, how? Pins? Screws?
    - Did you do anything different for the curved parts of the wall where the sleepers won't fit snug? Does it make matter that there will be a slight gaps?  
    Used the occasional screw mainly on the paths. The rest really purely using a lot of postcrete, just need to move fast with it
