it sounds to me like you are using what we call trench or foundation block (both same) if thats the case the top area of the block will be 225mm x 440mm which is equivalent to 4 bricks. therefore 4 x 210 = 840 brick. the cheapest way would be to buy a ton bag of sand and 8 bags of cement, and i would say there will be some sand left over. ie dont forget the plasticiser.
