We have used chippings on the central path (the only path)on our new plot
and have found that they do end up on the soil a bit but it's not a problem,
worse is that without a solid edge it is difficult to keep the path looking
straight edged as you keep damaging the edge. Would be better if the paths
could be edged but the cost of tanalised timber gravel boards is
prohibitive, concrete gravel boards are even more expensive.

Thanks Bob
I haven't come across concrete gravel boards yet.
One of the bigger problems is the way slugs are harboured in whatever I
try to put down. We may try nematodes (sp?) in the spring, but I
thought these were expensive when looking through the internet for
suppliers
I would be interested in your opinion on these
