Did somebody lose some rocks?

[Gary T.]

Just in case someone lost their rocks, I found them. I have allot of irrigation pipe to bury and I keep finding lots and lots of rocks. I really envy you guys with nice rock free soil. It would have been nice to rent a ditch witch but I don't think it would work with my rocky soil.

Rocks you say...visit the other coast,for they don't call NH the granite state for nothing.

 

[Sackett2]

Oh, THAT'S where I left them.... Go ahead and keep them now, you have obviously damaged them

My dad's house (on the south hill in a small valley) has great soil with just the minimal rocks- on the other hill, perhaps 1/8 of a mile, so many rocks that retaining walls have been built with them yet you still see them all over the place. We moved 3 bucket fulls from is front yard expansion and area 10'x20', and that was just the ones on top. I told dad, I would not have bought that property just because of the rocks....

We call that gravel up here in NH.

This is a rock:


Every time I put the bucket in the ground, I come up with a rock.


Nice looking trench by the way!

Allthough Kansas Has Some Rocky country around , The closest around Our Place is Over 100 Miles , So We Have to actually buy the rocks that Ya,ll dont Like Having around .

I Just Bought 10 ton of silverdale Stone at 250 Bucks a ton that Comes from Southeastern Kansas for some Landscaping projects Great Pics Though Guys Thanks For Showing. . Bob

Heck of a nice trench, All done with the B.H. ?

Its a slow go with a Ditch Witch in rocky terrain. I live in the foothills to the Rockie Mountains and my DW has a rock and frost chain (big deal), almost anything larger the a 4" round rock in my path requires a farmer bar and shovel. and me hand scooping all the dirt I kicked into the trench while rock fishing. Yep I see lots of retaining walls and wishing wells in my future. When you run out of rocks Ill load you up.

Its amazing those of us that have rocks consider them a nuisance while those of us that don稚 have any rocks go to great lengths to acquire them. I just had 10 yards of washed rock delivered and wife to purchase several big rocks to put in shrub beds. I was shocked at the price for big rocks.

 

[jimmyj]

Aw heck. I put gravel seedings down 20 years ago exactly where you dug that trench. Nice crop that grew!

I must be at least 100 miles from you (I'm in NE Kansas) and I have more than enough!!

Yep that figures billbill1 , but rock Seems to be fairlly Common in the 4 Corners of the State . Lots Of Old Rock Quarrys in the Southeast . & Out West Its Really Much Different From Our Area . The Area You are In I,ve Known to be Famous for the Old rock Structures Not to Mention the history .

Just Pert Much Flat , Farmground & Oilwells In Our area . Worse thing is The Citys Keep Getting Closer all the time .

I,d Love To Have some of That type Of stone Allthough Some of it Is Very similiar to The Rock that Comes From the Rock Quarry in Silverdale Kansas . do you Deliver ? lol . .

I have 2 places in Conn. farm in Woodstock,, my 44,000 lb excavator has trouble moving some of of the pebbles. 1 1/2 hour away near New Haven coastal, no rocks. In Woodstock, when I hit digging like that in first pictures I say thanks for the easy day.

Wife thinks I lost my Marbles at times.

 

[aggiehortguy91]

If you can figure out how to get them down here, the last retail price I heard was around 40¢/lb for them! Seriously! I must have used about $10,000,000 worth when we were building retaining walls in Indiana.

Worse thing is The Citys Keep Getting Closer all the time .

Amen!

We have no rocks at all on our place and next door there are tons. It's glacier effect up here.

Kind of glad in a way, it would be awful having so many in the soil.

At my moms place, there are a few rocks when you dig deep but only a little. My dads is all dirt. Atleast until they brought in pit run to level a spot on a steep hill. They brought in truck load after truck load of it. I collected some nice boulders and smaller rocks. Recently, I spread a huge pile of manure on the top and used the blanket harrow, and my new harrow to grade it. Then took the skidsteer out there and got a huge scoop of rocks out of there. Now its an outdoor arena. I will take some rocks off your hands though.

Even though Bancroft is the "Mineral Capitol" of Ontario, my wife still had me build her a Rock Garden. Each year she has a fantastic crop....

 

[studor]

I've got so many rocks that you need to have livestock in pairs so that one can lift the rock while the other one grazes . The areas that are not solid rock are what is called glacial moraine -- sand and Lanark pea gravel.
My wife has me build her a rock garden as well but then she needs a step ladder to weed it.

Lordy!

In South Coventry, CT, that's topsoil

when we dug our basement we were hoping for rock to do landscaping with - ended up with a 9' deep hole in the clay.
1/2 mile north of us a neighbor dug his basement and hit nothing but rock -- so we hired his excavator to move about 95 tons of it to our yard.

In Middle Tennessee, we don't have rocks, we have A ROCK. I think there is one big rock under the entire middle of the state.
