If only one or two high you can place first level on the ground and use construction adhesive for the second.. Any higher you will need to dig up the ground, pour a concrete footing for the blocks and mortar the next levels.
If you ground is already nice and flat you can place them directly. If not, you can dig a nice flat stretch for them and you can go ahead and lay some weed prevention fabric before setting on the cinder blocks.
is it for decoration/non structural use or need to be fully functional to hold back soil?
