    Pathways between raised veg beds. I use pine tree cuttings, chop them up and lay them down on the paths over a bed of ashes.
    The ashes go over stones pulled from the veg beds and elsewhere in the garden that are used to set the path base, ashes fill the gaps and give a levelled walking surface, pine needles and twigs keep it mostly dry underfoot.
    It has a nice appearance, deters slugs and is nice to walk on.
