          Coffee mugs?
          Flower pots?
          Line a pond?
          Something for the Tate exhibition?

            The lining a pond idea has been mentioned before.
            I'm just a bit concerned how big a pond we would need to dig to line with all the clay that Len could dig out! This show is from across the bed in front of the path it's on. Just one little row.


            You could stock whittards with the number of mugs you could make!

              This is where he's dug out from and put muck in the bottom off.
              The arrows I've put on!

              Am impressive big of digging!

                What about drainage channels?
                Or stacking it to make raised beds for plants that need a lot of water?
                Bake it in the sun and use it for paths?

                  For lining drainage channels? Hadn't thought of that!

                      Would time and a lot of wood chippings do anything useful with it?

                        Any local potteries that you can give/sell it to?
                        Or use it when school groups come over - let them sculpt it!
                        Got it!! Build a kiln and fire your own flower pots...........

                          Make yourself a wooden mould or see if you can get one on an auction site, and make your own bricks, have a bonfire to set them, and then build a hot bed for all that muck.

                              A cheese wire always helps.
