By chance I went on the old Forum yesterday - found that someone had PM'ed me from that forum only a few days ago.  I hadn't got any notification of a PM, but obviously the old Forum PM system still works  It might be worth doing the odd visit

"using fill instead of squared off stone will be a disaster - they will become misshapen and all sorts." The best fill is mixed irregular shape stone pieces, as they bed down best and interlock. Square block fill will distort more easily. The art to gabions is ensuring that the fill is well packed in
"You can have them filled with whatever - concrete blocks are the cheapest I think, but we decided we wanted it to look better than this so we had them filled with local stone." You can use cheap fill for the bulk of each gabion, and only use better stone to make up the exposed faces
