ceramic tiles

[elfcurry]

I have several square metres worth from the bathroom and I'm not sure what to do with them.

A lot are broken but many are not. I've already chucked out some in small pieces. They still have tile adhesive so quite rough.

Can I use them in cement mix for a clothes post hole?
I suppose they might be useful if crushed fairly small to help plant drainage. Is there anything 'nasty' in them or the adhesive?

Any thoughts or ideas?

I've broken them up for use in plant pots, both as drainage and also on the top as a kind of mulch. I've never experienced any problems but I've never used them with food crops though.

I've also crushed them up and mixed them in with a gravel path. They were the same colour but it could look really pretty if they were colourful.

Cheers

I decorated the outside of my pots with mine mosaic style - gives a spanish feel :)
