Abstract
A method for building an earth-retaining barrier from standard open-celled construction blocks includes a plurality of hangers. Each hanger contains a hook portion for spanning a rim of the block and also contains a shoulder portion projecting laterally from the hook portion and having a top ledge for contacting or supporting the rim of a vertically adjoining block.. Thus, each block is supported by a block beneath it as well as by the top ledge of the hanger secured upon the lower block. The barrier thus created has an offset of approximately 15.degree..
