Default Need Advice on Cobblestones

Thanks Dave and Ann. I realise now that I've gotten in over my head
here. Perhaps I'll just lay the rocks down loose as they will not be an
actual walkway and they'll most probably look different but just as nice.
All the best
Peter

If anyone has some experience with cement and cobblestones I'd be
obliged for their thoughts. I want to make part of my garden straight
cobblestones but don't have the knes or energy to lay a concrete or
cement foundation. Neither do I have the money to afford to have it
delivered premixed. What I am wondering is if I lay the stones (between
2 to 4 inches diameter) on the soil and then pour dry cement over them
and brush it between the crevices, will it harden enough to hold the
stones in place if I simply spray water over the area? Has anyone tried
anything like this or have an alternate way to ensure that the stones
are held in place? One person at a garden center suggested using bags
of lime but I couldn't quite understand how the lime would adhere to the
stones or harden enough to hold them.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks
Peter
