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.
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.
Catapult ammo.
For self defense, of course.
Fire pit, fire place, front porch stone work. Sauna, the fucking Mongolians again. Concrete foundation. Ponds.
Cairns.
Goddamn Mongolians! Stop breaking down my shitty wall!
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!

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.
