I see he was 'circumventing' his garden! Had to look that one up.......[*]besiege: surround so as to force to give up; "The Turks besieged Vienna"[*]outwit: beat through cleverness and wit; "I beat the traffic"; "She outfoxed her competitors"[*]hedge: avoid or try to avoid fulfilling, answering, or performing (duties, questions, or issues); "He dodged the issue"; "she skirted the problem"; "They tend to evade their responsibilities"; "he evaded the questions skillfully"[*]to avoid or get around something; to bypass; to surround or besiege; to outwit or outsmart. Perhaps his railway was by-passing his garden, or perhaps the Turks were invading?
Great Photo though ;-)

Light tapping on the outside of the mould with a rubber hammer will also help move the air bubbles to the top. The key word is light!!!! To much tamping/ tapping will cause the stones to sink leaving a weak mix. If the moulds are reusable why not try casting a upright of site as an experiment.
