This rock that Dakar and I were thinking of was brought in and put all the way arounnd the entire lake as it is man made. It really resembles the lace rock that we purchased from the LFS in weight and texture. Nothing ever seems to grow on it if you pull the rock that that is built up high more for landscaping and runoff purposes. If you were to throw a chunck down hard against the other rocks, it would break in two. That's where I got the idea from. When we go boating in the summer, I always admire the rock, it's texture and color. We'll get some picture of it when we get out there and post them also and get more of your opinions to. It sure is nice having so many minds working together. What would any of us do without all of you? 7 more days till Christmas....is your shopping all done? We have to go today some more. Wish us luck! Ho Ho Ho!!
