Hi All
A similar thing happens on the volcanic island of Mauritius. Every morning at dawn huddles of workers can be seen on the side of the road waiting to be taken to the sugar cane fields. Their job is to collect up the stones before the fields are planted. Amazingly the stones here are completely round, a bit like cannon balls. As Tony says they magically work their way to the surface between each crop and can destroy a plough blade! In Mauritius the stones are just piled into pyramids as there is little need for walls.
Cheers
