[Pil-pc-oceania] - Use for Brick Rubble:- Seeking Ideas

[Laurence Gaffney]

Thanks to David Arnold. Tamara Griffiths & Steve Burns for your responses.

Tamara:-    I think that Picon is a light weight porous material similar to pumice or scoria. Clay fired bricks are a fairly dense heavy material which do not trap much air but can absorb moisture. I was unaware of these types of volcanic materials being used seemingly quite affectively for "mulch" in this way. - thankyou

I have about 1-2 cubic metres of clay fired house brick rubble and off-cuts.

I have thought of making a mound in a useful position or including the material in an absorption trench, or even its use as an animal scratch resistant mulch/ground cover.

But none of these alternatives make me particularly happy so hence this post.

I have observed over the years that skinks/lizards like to hang around brick rubble.

Any ideas anyone?
