Making space

I bought these stone rings when I first did the garden and I have never been overly keen on them, I added the split logs in the middle to try to make them nicer. After a while I realised I was losing a lot of space, I reckon the slabs cover about 6 - 8ft between them all, they had to go :-)



I had these old coping stones from a 4" wall, I chopped them in half and dug them in about 10" in the ground, popped a little concrete around them to keep the in place (just enough) and ran some grout round the outside where the lawn met them, I used a jug and funnel so as to keep any damage to the lawn to a minumum. I am really pleased with the outcome, it suits the setting of my garden



Now I have these leftover, anyone got any ideas?



I would advice folks to keep edgings small, these rings looked okay but stole a lot of garden.

 

O.K though if you have a big garden.

Perhaps you could make a "frame" out of them and place a mirror behind. A bit like a window. It would also look like you have more space.

 

I'd use them as architectural features in a border, with a medium height plant growing around them. But that's just me

 

looks really nice - i love stone!!

edging for a small birdbath or shallow pond? nice to have a bit of water in the garden

loopy

 

Shiney gave me an idea :-) Ill do it and post a pic, prolly this weekend :-) Thanks Shiney.

 

I posted this first picture in another thread, I used two rings to keep the soild from the wall behing my pottery garden I just made.



And three more for making a step, this is the shape Ill put in when my new front door arrives, Im not quite sure of the height yet :-



So I still have 3 left :-) Ideas?
