Im building a small room addition here in California and am going to pour a monolith turn down footing . Im was wondering if anyone has used foam to contain to rock so it does not fall into the footing? We are in Zone 11.
Looking forward to the discussion.
Thanks Steve

I have no experience with it, but Home Depot sells a product to do exactly that:
