    Going to be building a 300mm height single skin brick wall,
    Its for a dwarf wall greenhouse.

    Do I put the DPC under the first course of blocks?
    Do I even need it ?
    Thanks

    Yes you need it. Yes put it under first course. As long as that's above ground. I think minimum 200mm from ground level
    If you don't use it the wall will suck up water which you'd want to avoid.

    Thanks,
    Just what I was thinking.
    The foot should be slightly above ground level.
