An excellent article here and I haven't seen this technique used before but it has to be one of the simplest ever for getting brilliant results, cheap too. :wink:

Foam Rocks.

Very good link that Bob i can see great potential for many members using the method described there, again finding something that is relatively cheap to do and giving super results.
actually you could probably use rapid set cement available at diy stores that would work the same and be quick setting

The end of the article suggests collection soil samples for that next project.

It might be worth members bearing in mind that as far as the U K is concerned.

The slightest crossing on to the land is sufficient to be a trespass; removing soil or part of a building is a trespass; ………………… It is not necessary to know that the land belongs to somebody else — i.e. it is no defence that the trespass was due to a mistake of law or fact.

You need to get the land owners permission before removing soil.

All land in the UK is owned or in the control of somebody who can give permission or not as the case may be.

Bob, what a simple way to make rocks! Just goes to show you, all you have to do is be creative with what most people throw away. :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :roll:

Great link!

Come to France !!  We have the "right to roam" and can cross almost any farmland (provided, of course, you don't get stupid and trample crops etc !!) and we do so walking our dog daily.  Removal of soil - I suppose it would only be polite to ask permission.  We live in the "prune" region and, having asked first, we gather buckets full of plums which, for one reason or another, they only seem to harvest one year in three !!!

It looks like a very simple method of making rocks Bob and one I'll study in more detail when I get home next week.

I saw this presentation in Sydney 2004 at the NMRA convention & it was well received.
