Glass mulch
 
Have just been to Chaumony in France where one of the show gardens had coloured glass mulches - very striking. Can anyone please tell me where in UK I can get these mulches? I'm in Derbyshire, so if not near here, I need someone who does mail order.
Many thanks!

Spot on Franz;-) But the poor newbie only asked for a source, and got
free fashion advice;-) BIG GRIN!

Possibly the french used it in a more stylish way than you'd ever see on
UK TV tho? Who knows!-)

What does it taste like? I know several sedums are grown for eating,
but they don't excite me.

I bet the glass shards do not attract much by way of butterflies. {:-))
Of course, the OP is welcome to his/her taste. That does not prevent it
from having the attributes I ascribed to it.

And I thought it was a question on Chinese gardening. Glass mulch.......Ah
so.

Thinks, if you made your own from empty wine bottles it would keep the foxes
out.........Or is that a different thread?

Just remembered that a few years ago at Hampton court flower show they used
broken up CD's as a mulch,,,,,,,,,good use for all those junk ones that come
through the door.
