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.
I dig holes and bury the damn things. That way on 10 or 20 years the frost brings them up again…
Dear Dullster,
What are your lovely rocks used for?
This is just a storage. You never know when you need a bunch of good rocks. I accumulate a lot of them from all over my yard.
Any other answer would have got you kicked out of this sub.
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.
Fire pit, fire place, front porch stone work. Sauna, the fucking Mongolians again. Concrete foundation. Ponds.
Cairns.
These would be perfect with a “City Wall”, we need Lu Kim to head up the defense! God Damn Mongolians!
Throwing at invading uruk-hai
Catapult ammo.
For self defense, of course.
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.
It’s their pet rock collection.
Gotta put googly eyes on’em
they rock
build a bridge out of them
He likes to look at them
Gotta catch em all.
Finally, a truly dull post.
Unless any of those rocks happen to be sharp. They better not be.
You should really refrigerate them so they don’t go bad.
They’re cured with salt.
A very nice collection.
Sorry, rock storage? I … what?
Where do you keep all your rocks then?
I toss mine down for garden edging until I need them for something else.
Am I doing edging wrong?
If it’s not out in the yard in front of god and the neighbors; yes,
The backyard is where we hide the sin
Scattered across the field to break shit when I farm.
Wait. People “store” rocks? That’s a thing?
You don’t? Get a load of this guy, doesn’t even have storage for his rocks, haha.
I guess I’ve just been doing it wrong this whole time.
this post rocks
Some darn nice looking rocks there. And those buckets are brilliant - without them all the small rocks would fall to the bottom!
This post is great, thank you for this.

Rock storage as storage made out of rocks or are you just storing rocks? Why are do you store rocks?
Can’t have them laying all over.
The mere thought of that happening…shudder
I only wish i could give you 2 upvotes
