Question:

I spent the first year of having a home digging (chipping, picking,
cursing, prying) out a small 10' x 20' area in my back yard in which to
plant a veggie garden. I have spent the next three years gazing at the
huge pile of dirty grey limestone rocks (from 5lbs to 250lbs) sitting in a
corner. If I had to do it over again, being older and marginally wiser, I
would simply buy dirt and build raised beds (and I may still). Anyone have
any idea what to do with all of those rocks? I could haul them to the
landfill, I guess. I'm in NW Austin. Anyone know where the nearest
landfill is (with weekend hours)? Would anyone want this stone? They
aren't very pretty to my eye.

Cheers,

Ed.

I'd advertise the rocks in the austin.forsale as "Fill Rocks-FREE-Will Help
Load".

How about using them to build those raised beds? If it makes you feel
any better, price delivered limestone building materials.

Build a raised bed, terrace a slope, ease seasonal drainage with a
drycreek bed, create a path, create a pad for boat..that's what I did
with my rocks out in Lago Vista. The neighbors first thought I was
nuts but then volunteered the rocks in their yards, a symbiotic
relationship.

The boat pad was a fluke. I kept throwing the small, gravel size ones
to the outer side of the driveway, joking that I needed to have a
place to park my (nonexistant) boat. The next year the pile had grown
to a good size when a friend offered to sell his sailboat cheap.
Voila! I had the required pad ready. Build it and they will come.
