This depth keeps all but the very aggressive weeds from breaking through as, in time, the rock forms a fairly solid barrier, so we don't put anything between it and the ground.<BR/><BR/>Let me know what you finally choose and how it works?<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>TerryTerryDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798898613357254355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032646846137411125.post-31656497182636628562009-02-01T02:40:00.000+13:002009-02-01T02:40:00.000+13:00Hi Terry - I'm sure we do, although I haven't look...Hi Terry - I'm sure we do, although I haven't looked as yet. My first impression was very good. We're not keen on gravel as it seems very 'harsh', whereas we want something which will blend with the surroundings more (we're relatively rural here). That said we don't want bark chippings either... <BR/><BR/>Can I ask what depth of shellrock you used, and what, if anything, you have between it and the earth?<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032646846137411125.post-56860413223717996362009-01-31T11:38:00.000+13:002009-01-31T11:38:00.000+13:00HI Richard,The material is something we call crush...HI Richard,<BR/><BR/>The material is something we call crushed "Shellrock". It is found in the hills locally and is comprised of compacted shell and other seabed sediments which have since been lifted up. It is crushed to about 40mm and under for base material and to 5mm or so for surfacing.<BR/><BR/>Do you have anything similar you could use?<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>TerryTerryDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798898613357254355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032646846137411125.post-9031470882489372912009-01-30T23:08:00.000+13:002009-01-30T23:08:00.000+13:00Nice looking path - can I ask what is the coverin...Nice looking path - can I ask what is the covering you've put over the eath?
