Rock Picking

Stones are a real boost to your beds as they add a touch of interest, look like they are meant to be there as if naturally erupting from the environment and do good things for heat distribution and cooling too. It's always fun to get something for nothing, so I go to land fills, excavations and pick up free rock that have texture, color or good form.

Rocks for walls
by: Moni

When living in OH several years ago, the kids and I would go rock picking after school to an area where a new subdivision was being put developed. There were lots of rocks for the 'picking'. When I had enough, I would build a new planting bed wall.
When I shared this area with a neighbor, she found a large rock she wanted for her garden. It was too big for us to lift - however, a workmen was kind enough to use his front-end loader to put the rock in the van for us. We pushed it out of the van and using a shovel to lift and turn, we managed to get the rock in place.
As Doug said, with a little effort and determination it is amazing what can be accomplished!

Everytime I go for a walk in my neighborbhood-I pick up 1 or 2 rocks--they keep my arms firm(like weights) and they are one of nature's gifts to my garden!
Enjoy!!!
