CONT

Murs et murets en pierres sèches et fleuris. Nous devons prendre notre décision de "fleurir" de tels murs avant leur construction pour être sûrs de réserver les 70 à 75 ° de "fruit" minimum nécessaire, pour assurer leur solidité. En effet, il est évident que l'ouverture de niches, diminue la résistance du mur. Montons notre mur [...] lit par lit, sans oublier un drainage, si besoin est. Décalons une ou deux pierres pour créer l'évidement.
