Hello @stu2 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your retaining wall.

Just a friendly reminder that your retaining wall might need a permit depending on where you are located. For example, in NSW anything over 600mm will need a building approval or permit from your local council. 

In regards to the number of bags of concrete, it all depends on the size and depth of the hole you'll be digging, less the diameter of the post you'll be putting in. 

My best advice is to use Bondall 1L Monocel In Ground Timber Protector - 1L to add extra protection to your post.
