John Stevenson:
Normal way over here is dig out and place 12" of compacted crushed stone [ hardcore] followed by 6" or concrete with rebar or mesh.
I didn't see the mesh in your pictures hence the post.

Tip: before painting, while you can still see where the studs (uprights) are behind the plasterboard (sheetrock), bang a small nail in at the top and bottom of each one, with the head just proud of the surface. Once painted, you probably won't be able to see the nailheads, but you will be able to feel them.

Then, if you want a secure fixing for a hook, shelf or wall-hung cupboard, you can easily find where to put the screws.

Great tip, Andy- replaces using a studfinder, which works sometimes, other times not so well.
