I used river sand around my herb boxes and like it as a pathway. A few weeds pop up or occassion herb goes to seed in it but it is not much work keeping it neat. My son also used the same gravel and rounded stones to make a walkway between two parts of the garden. I love it! It looks so neat (in my humble opinion that is)

I'm the type that likes to be flexible with stuff. More than likely, I would buy the pavers just so I could move them if I wasn't happy with the initial arrangement.

I also did an experiment of sort between my raised beds. Between half of them, I put straw and the other half, some old pavers. I prefer the straw. I have chickens free ranging and I had to wash the pavers.
I use both straw and pavers...my chickens like the straw best they can find goodies hiding under the straw... they cant move the pavers...

Jojo- I know you have shown those pictures before- but truly, your gardens are breathtaking!!! I don't mean to be dense, but what is the "rock" garden? It looks lovely, whatever it is!

Hmmm....how do you manage to get your trailer to control weeds Don?
Ours just sits there, helpless....

That made me chuckle

Yeah, they keep pooping on them LOL. With the straw, all I have to do is put another layer on and I'm all set.

That is the sidewalk my son built between two sections of the garden. I just love it as it is different yet serves a purpose plus my son placed every rock himself after we collected them all from the river.
