Not food - that's for the compost bins.

I'm talking about those few leftover bricks from a project, or half bricks, or chunks of granite, pretty beach stones, etc.

We had some old whiskey barrels that disintegrated but I saved the hoops believing I "could do something" with them. Eventually all the leftovers came together and I made two resting areas where I could stand comfortably to deadhead lilies or daylilies, stake nearby plants, take photos of plants, etc. They also serve to give me a reference point so I know the lily Salmon Star is right of the resting spot on the right and can reference many other plants using my resting spots.

This was the first one I did since the hoop had split. I just filled in with all those annoying little stones I find while digging, and save in nursery pots for the time I need them:

This is one of the resting spots I mentioned. Though you can't see the hoop (once again, broken) it serves as a good form to fill in with odds and ends we gardeners seem to stockpile:
