Garden paths
True....where are you Hans??

Yes, but we are at a great advantage, it's mined right here in central
Texas, so
we have excellent access to it, at a very reasonable price. Not everyone
has
that opportunity. In New Mexico, crushed lava or lava sand is a local
resource
of material good for paths, but it is a much deeper color of near
red/burgundy.

I don't know where you are, but in this part of central Texas people
used
decomposed granite, with a few inches of crushed granite on top of
that.

I have started to plan my garden by laying out paths (raking off grass
and
moss). I now want to "permanent" the paths by laying down material
that
is
like paver base (very finely ground stone material). I planned to
actually
use paver base (gray) and add tint to get, for instance, a rust color.
However, I think this would be a *lot* of work, so my question is,
what
other finely ground *colored* stone material are there that could be
used?
Thanks -- Hans L
