That's the great thing about gravel....lay it deep and hardly any weeds get through. I still have to pick up the straying crisp packets, sweetie wrappers and carrier bags though!

No Kaps, I'm pleased to tell you it is all my own work, and hard work it was too, but now it is extremely easy...hardly any work at all. There is a blog about me making it...

Many thanks for sharing such a detailed and impressive blog. My daughter's bday is approaching in april end..and i am now determined to lay down gravels on my own :)
Although i have a bit compost bin in my garden which I am really scared touching it..since we moved to property we never touched it..and not even opened it to check whats inside but i will put gravels around it and keep that bin as it is.

Blogs such as yours do encourage people...i am an example here:) keep up the good work.
