    Not sure if to put in gardening forum or here so feel free to move.

    I've cut down a ditch at bottom of my garden and it was pretty much made up of large rocks, well the one beauty is huge, I can hardly move it at all its so big, there's nowhere for it to go . Ok for my options that are rattling around in my head.

    Is there a easy cheap ish way of breaking it up to move out.?

    Or can I maybe use it as a bench , it is a bit flat on the one side . ( I'm in process of putting down a load of paving slabs so I must think fast because I don't want to drag this baby over my new paving. And even the. How on earth am I going to move it. Ha ha

    I'm rambling because I just don't know what to do so I thought I'd ask my buddies on boards for advice ,

    Be nice to me, it's pouring rain and I'm soaked and clueless as to what to do :0)

    2 buckets of coal, fire lighters and a bucket of cold water.

    Build a decent sized fire beside the rock ( best if you can have the flames driven towards the rock face by wind) once the rock has heated to a high temperature throw a bucket of cold water over it. The rapid cooling caused by the water should break the rock and make it easier to move.

    Wear appropriate safety gear as rock shards might fly.
