Reply To: Paths…Slate…Compost…or Wood Chips…???

I would go with more compost, it’s usually pretty clean to walk on and leaves no harbourage for slugs, whereas all the nooks and crannies in slate would probably be a haven for them in our damp part of the world. Wood chips would probably be fine too, but it seems like you’ve no problem getting hold of compost if you’ve just spread 67t of it! It also means you don’t need to add any sides to your beds, which keeps cost down and the plants roots will draw goodness from the paths as well as the beds.
