There are two sorts of paths on allotments and in gardens. The permanent paths, like a path between plots and temporary paths laid to divide growing areas that may well be moved after a year or so. This question came in about using gravel paths for those temporary paths that I found interesting.

I agree with the points you've made, John. It is a nightmare to try to move paths with gravel on them, and I find that gravel sticks to your boots if you have mud on the treads … :ohmy:

Gravel paths are not allowed here in Blackpool.

Where I am in South Wales you can take a trip down to a "cockling" plant and get a trailer load of cockle shells very cheap.
They make excellent paths once they are tamped down.

I suppose they'd help raise the pH too :)
