I've found a way of grafting stones together. If you mix sand and cement into a sort of paste and put it between two stones after a couple of days they graft together into one. In this way you can build up a family boulder made up of several different types of stone.

Pa snip, maybe the problem with the Fox is that it's been chasing the little red rooster if you scattered a bit of brown sugar around your problem might fade away or you could go down another route maybe route 66 :D :D :D

I assume you have some concrete evidence to support this

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

How many CD's did you have to search to put that lot together :lol:

I should think that by now Barry must regret ever starting this thread and may well be on his 19th Nervous Breakdown

So to summarise:

Stones don't grow but soil shrinks
Use for paths is what all thinks
Then there's flints to be honed
To Primmy's plot to get stoned
Rock and roll with songs a plenty
Damn great boulders acting sentry

Reminds me of when I started gardening up in Orkney... was not just stones but all kinds of broken china and once even a carpet, When there was no rubbish collection. Here in Ireland I expected that and sure enough.. chief trophy was a full set of dentures.. and the teapot spout made me all but weep knowing how these folk love their tea...

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
