In a previous house, I planted thyme in between the stones, but I didn't have to lay the actual stones. I'll let you know how it goes!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299629820493102384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704731843194408976.post-85840562179515737542011-06-19T03:00:50.008-04:002011-06-19T03:00:50.008-04:00well, we've done many paths in our day lol
my...well, we've done many paths in our day lol<br /><br />my faves are ones using a material in sympathy with the environment. so in this house we have used large flat stones that came from a roof, which in turn came from the surrounding mountains.<br /><br />in a previous cottage in England, we used paving bricks.<br /><br />i also like when grass grows in between the stones.<br /><br />use a layer of sand and then possibly a little cement (depends on how they're laid) to keep them away from frost and secure.<br /><br />beautiful cottage!Monica {bohemian twilight}http://bohemiantwilight.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
