I am about to make quite a lot of path round my raised beds. I intend
laying weed suppressing fabric then pebbles on top. Apart from being
clear for walking it will (I trust) stop the weeds from the area
surrounding the beds migrating into the beds themselves. However
pebbles specifically for paths seems to me rather expensive, can I use
ordinary builders pebbles successfully? Also any ideas on quantity
required, for, say, a square meter?

TIA

All good suggestions from the group.

You will find however that a few weeds will grow in the gravel. Earth somehow
always filters into it and seeds will root. They are easy to remove though. I
use a hoe to rake my gravel over, especially effective on hot days :~)
