new alltment path
My next project is laying a recycled brick path and raised beds for my allotment, it also helps jane get around more easy.

I'm sure it's going to look great, but may I suggest you fill the gaps around the bricks with sharp sand otherwise the slugs are going to love their new appartments.

Re: new alltment path
Hurrah for you! That is a lot of path there- can't wait to see the finished product.. much bigger than mine but I am secure enough within myself to not feel threatened:)

Re: new alltment path
Brick paths are very ish and you can collect bricks over a period of time and build as materials allow.Im not above coming home with a few stray bricks and last boat trip saw me land back with half a paving slab.Ive a good collection of bricks and block pavers stashed for summer use and will ad to them if I get the chance.
