Yes what's with the farming of rocks? we get that over here too... we spent
one weekend a couple of years ago preparing our patch for veg growing, dug
the patch over up to about 12" deep & cleared away rocks & crocks but the
following year, we found more surfacing? i think we must have very big
earthworms or something, bringing up subterranean rocks & bits of broken
crock & glass!
