Recycled Paving Slabs

I got these paving slabs via "Freecycle" a couple of weeks ago, and just moved them all today, closer to where they will be used for some paths at our allotment.

There are 150+ 18 inch square, riven effect slabs in grey. Should do a fair ammount of pathways for us.

A great haul. Have you got a HomeBargains any where near you as they sell weed contol barrier really cheap that may be ideal for putting underneath. http://www.tjmorris.co.uk/tjm/stores/ 1 x 20m @ £4/roll.

 

There's one down the road in Workington Scrungee, whats the fabric like is it that paper stuff or something more substantial?

It's not Mypex, but sort of the next grade below, weighing 1.14Kg/20m2 roll, so 57 grammes/square metre, water permeable and suitable for use beneath some mulch/paving/etc.

It appears indentical to this stuff from Wilkos that's £16 for 25 x 1m http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/netting trellis/wilko-heavy-duty-weed-guard-black-25mx1m/invt/0224962/?htxt=vzFZA84cpPex8GDePQ+44s6KsZ/RMJalYXirCuX+NU29yjHJpgQamfBxAID0jmUouACF4uS4Wc6G x32XqNM54Q==

I've stashed a few rolls in my shed and I haven't even worked out exactly what I'll be using them for yet, but they're so cheap I know I'll find use,

 

"haul" is the word, I reckon !!

 

A few yrs ago we were putting new slabs down and recyled old and H made me a raised bed below 1 of my greenhouses.

For a time it was my herb bed but now its home to fruit bushes.and took out

And upcyled to and recyle all good.
