If it isn't too late to do this, I've got paved bits to walk along
but the growing areas are membraned (that weed suppressing stuff)
and then graveled (using pea gravel - as it's "inside" the cats
don't get to it!). This allows whatever is on top (growing in large
pots or grow bags) a decent amount of drainage plus when I water
the paved runs get drained off quickly. Half-way house sort of
thing between earth and paving.

Funny you mentioning that. A friend uses old carpet on both sides
with as you say a walkway between. We were just talking about it on
the 'phone a few mins ago.

I don't know what all the fuss is about, you can use the soil for a
year or two without having to change it, then you can decide about
paving .
There is no fuss!
