Curb appeal that attracts visitors

My Brother in law collects antiques and marbles. He would buy marbles by the pickle jar full just to find one or two great marbles in the bunch. He would also buy cheaply cracked or broken crocks. We wondered what he was going to do with all this worthless junk that he had collected. Well I have to say he came up with an ingenious idea in front of his house he placed a garden boarder of rocks they he planted two huge hostas then he filled in the rest of the area with thousands and thousands of marbles an cracked crocks and olds and ends like cement roosters and signs it looks so neat an people are constanly stopping to look at his treasures and what he did with them.

Those marbles could also be used in place of colorful rocks in the bottom of a koi pond. Just be sure to wash well with soap and water and rinse well before using in your pond.

I love marbles myself. I used to see some really big ones.
Does your brother have any of the larger marbles. I like those
in fish tanks.
I also like marbles in clear glass planters and vases. They add
a certain something. You can buy glass rocks for your fish tanks
today but the look just isn't the same.
