    Have a look at 'self binding gravels' they are a fine limestone that you wacker plate flat and then water to set firm. Link for info only here your local aggregate supplier will give you more info.

    Yes I think this is the kind of thing I want, but am considering just using type 1 sub-base as I think it is effectively the same thing – and cheaper.
  • I used that lime stuff and it became a sludgy mess. I've since covered in up with something like a rockery you can walk on.
  • I also found weeds could grow in the compacted limey stuff. In another area between raised beds, I've making a surface by laying trimmings from bamboo plants and Phormium leaves.
