I have just been reading an article re. how to make a Thyme seat, it was
made of old bricks and looked charming but I do not have enough old bricks
going spare. I do however have several bales of hay that are not needed
and as I do not like to see things go to waste I wondered if I could use
them. If I made holes in the bales and filled them with compost then plant
Thyme plants would they grow and make a seat. The hay would eventually rot
down but my thinking was that the plants would grow and hold the whole
thing together. Any thoughts anyone ?

You could always try the freecycle system, or the local freeads folks are
always getting rid of bricks.

As for the thyme, you want to be careful you don't sit on anything with
wings, might put you off the seat pretty quick. :-)
