Stones

Andy Shaw2 · December 2019

I've not got the biggest garden ever, but the past couple of years I started to sieve the stones out my soil. Now as a result I have a few tubs full of stones that just get moved from corner to corner of the garden. Just wondering if anyone has any creative uses for stones in the garden?

Cheers

How big are they? If they are up to golf ball size I’d put them back. They will help to keep your soil sweet and well drained.

We made a dry stone wall with what I took out of here, some so big we could hardly lift them together.
If they’re small you could make a circular feature somewhere with a nice potted plant in the middle.
Put around the base of a tree, make a path through your lawn.

It depends on how many, what shape and how crafty you are but here are a few ideas - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=stone+mosaic+path&sxsrf=ACYBGNQT26ad4XGMJvnL4hJgNbpdPlCUzg:1577722203267&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=0vtWkD33J7efKM%253A%252CfN-9kgBypepl1M%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kSDyVljFfXci-9p2Wnvj6l2ffSAng&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjEmuub4d3mAhVHXBoKHZv8BrcQ9QEwAHoECAkQIw#imgrc=0vtWkD33J7efKM:

Great ideas, @Obelixx. I would really like such a path.

I should have asked before I started to dig them up!

😊

It’s all good exercise and cheaper than the gym.
