Stones - what to do?

[Chitfaced]

I'm sorry because I'm not an experienced veg grower so probably shouldn't be posting here - but thought you might be able to help. I've been digging out a border today for French beans and sweetpeas but have half a trug full of stones !! What do I do with these? Can't put them in the bin surely ?

Thanks to anyone who can help !

I think everyone has this problem at some time or other - I did when I was leveling an area for a little lawn and raking out millions of stones - I didn't want to throw them awaay either so kept them in a big pot for later! Eventually I did find a use for them when I had a problem with rats burrowing tunnels to get to my chicken coop - I filled the tunnels with the stones and collapsed them - it took a while but no more tunnels have appeared for a while now.

So in my experience don't throw them away - you may find a use for them.

Just put them in a corner...the wildlife will willingly do something with them!
Maybe a bit of wood ( twigs/bamboo etc between them)

Put them on the path.

Use them as crocks/ballast in containers

This might sound daft but I want a colander for my soil

It's called a riddle

I have three you can have: school decided they needed them, goodness knows why...

Good for sieving soil but not so good for your back easy to make if you dont want to buy one, make a square with wood and put some wire netting on the base. I have one that was made.

Everything just comes back to cooking with me. Riddle/Colander...

Reckon I can knock one up with a pair of tights and a coathanger. Makes most things, right?

I'll be using a garlic crusher on my compost next
