Kricket and Roy,
Have you considered building with those bags? Here, at Earthaven 
Ecovillage, we use the same kind of bag filled with gravel for the 
foundations of some of our homes. On a very classy cob composting toilet 
we used sand filled bags for a foundation. A neighbor used them filled 
with gravel for a lovely retaining wall which he subsequently plastered 
with concrete. If you really don't want them, I've got a client in KY 
(The Four Harmony Foundation, 9863 Lexington Road, Lancaster, KY 40444 
tel: 859 548 4162 fax: 859 548 2628 email: info@4harmonyfoundation.com 
<mailto:info@4harmonyfoundation.com> ) who might be able to use them.
