GRAMMA , I think the broken pot pieces may be used in the area under the faucet where a garden hose is attached . These areas are often wet and could use extra drainage to decrease muddy spots .That seems to be
an effective use for smaller bits and pieces of pottery.
However , I too , am not quite sure what the intended result was for some of the uses shown .

I used it for a year, but when I went to start cleaning up my yard it just looked to junky. I think it’s a good idea to look at your yard, and even have people, comment what they like or don’t like. You have to be careful or your yard could end up looking like a junk, or thrift store. I am striving for the cottage look, with plants, and accessories that give it that cottage feel without it feeling to over crowded.

I can’t bear to throw away any clay pieces and under the garden faucet and around the succulents is a perfect spot.

Are they just for looks then? Or do they serve a purpose…such as color coordinating. Do they eventually break down? Why the terra cotta around a garden hose? Just not sure what you’re saying.

Now I know.
