Thoughts on paving slabs
Hello my gardening friends,
I would really like some advice as to how to better manage our raised vegetable/flower beds at the back of our garden. We have a large space that has large stones put down as a path. It looked great at the time when we bought the house, however in just 5 years this space is becoming a nightmare to keep clean and tidy from leaves & weeds.
We were thinking of putting paving slabs down instead as it would be easier to sweep up in the autumn/winter with all the leaves that collect there. However, it's not cheap or all that sustainable.
In the autumn it is very difficult to keep this area tidy and free from leaves or weeds and wondered if you have any suggestions as to what works well for you?
Best wishes,
Peggy

thanks for the advice - especially gumtree. Here’s a small portion of what we have to keep weed free! Sadly my vegetables didn’t work this year much to my disappointment.
Sad to hear about your veg - next year watch out for pigeons, slugs, and the rest next year - alas its war out there.
