As everyone knows, it’s that time of the year again that we must prep our rock storages for winter.
I emptied the pallet entirely, cleaned out the leaves and reinforced the bottom a bit. I added some treated lumber blocks under it to lift it off the ground and I tensioned a threaded rod to span through the box to prevent the sides from bulging out. Then I added a permanent tarp to prevent leaves from getting in anymore and stop the pallet from rotting further. It’s also easy to roll to the side when I want to look at my collection. The buckets contain all the smaller stones I have.
This is just a storage. You never know when you need a bunch of good rocks. I accumulate a lot of them from all over my yard.
Any other answer would have got you kicked out of this sub.
What situations/projects would require a large collection of rocks?
I’m genuinely interested because I can’t think of any use for them outside of building a rock garden.
Rock crossings at creeks, erosion protection, firm up mudholes to drive over.
Very handy to have a rockpile ready to go around a farm.
Fire pit, fire place, front porch stone work. Sauna, the fucking Mongolians again. Concrete foundation. Ponds.
Goddamn Mongolians! Stop breaking down my shitty wall!
Cairns.
Throwing at invading uruk-hai
These would be perfect with a “City Wall”, we need Lu Kim to head up the defense! God Damn Mongolians!

Catapult ammo.
For self defense, of course.
Srsly? What doesn’t require a large collection of rocks!
Very few, though I was planning to use some as a filler in few concrete cast jobs I have in mind.
They come in handy when you need to go to a protest.
