  I watched, as usual, the latest episode of Beechgrove, and, during the programme, someone was showing a product (which was used in the making of the community garden) which,laid on prepared ground, stabilised the soil. It was made of recycled plastic and came in the form of open-structured 'tiles' which slotted together jigsaw style. Cananyone out there tell mehow to get hold of this stuff?

  Try the website? G*ogle and click. I haven't had time to do it yet this week, but it's usually very detailed and helpful.

  There must be a cheaper way to achieve your requirements-the man mentioned £15/square metre-you can get best Axminster for that!! just chop a hole in some second hand carpet or landscape fabric and plant some deep rooted plants!!

  welshcol, the product wasn't for planting through, it was for making very durable paths and driveways, for heavy foot traffic. It's been around a while now and is used anywhere that ordinary grass would wear away. It can also be filled with other path materials and prevents erosion. Check out the website of solway recycling. Just google it. (Decent Axminster costs more than £15.) To do a job properly as they were doing, you have to pay out a bit. Old carpet may be OK for your allotment but please, not a lovely community garden like that.

  I thought it was very clever and easy to use [Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator] and so much better than the concrete versions I've seen or a lump of old carpet.
  
  They also do recycled decking which has to be easier to use and maintain than wood and all sorts of farm products. Looks like a good company.
