We have a plant nearby that produces concrete steps, birdbaths, and

about 18 inches long. I hired a friends son to pick a lot of them up for
me in his pickup. Make excellent borders for raised bed gardens and only
cost me the haulage charge, from the concrete place they were free.


That would be nice. I asked at the local concrete plant
already: they only make huge things.

They don't make test cylinders to test concrete strength with? It's a
state law here and the plant has many industrial clients who want it
done too. I've even seen them poured when they're making concrete slabs,
buildings, etc.
