Hello,

My garden is aprox 70ft by 30ft which I try and keep tidy ,using a rake to
keep it looking OK after walking on it etc.

Sometimes elderly relatives visit and can't see the plants clearly enough
and for safety reasons want a walkway. There preferred method is compacting
the soil on the garden to make a path which in the past has got covered in
weeds, but served its purpose.

I am thinking about alternatives to this but don't want grass or paving
slabs as I haven't had much success with these methods . I was thinking of
something that could be planted (as a path) low maintenance,would keep to
the area planted and not suffer too much with people occasionally walking
over it !

The soil is clay and not very good drainage , but gets sun all day.

Any suggestions please ?
Thanks.

Mike.
