Hi guys

I have two leaves of a concrete wall with a space inbetween for planting a buxus hedge or something similar. How do I seal/treat the wall so I can eventually fill the space inbetween with soil and plant without making the wall damp etc. I want to paint the wall and need to know how to treat the wall so paint won't peel off etc

Thank you for any advice
