Re: Rocks

I know exactly what you mean! I pais $150 for a half ton of river
stones for a pond and was glad to get it. The last time we went to
Vermont to visit my wife's parents we loaded the car with stones and
drove them all the way home to Florida.
        I would love to have stones to build the edges of my beds with!
