One of my current projects is making garden path that leads back to my garden shed. I tilled it up and leveled the ground last fall so could let it settle over the winter. I put landscaping fabric on the path and covered it with a layer of loose dirt. I'm almost finished putting in the rest of the edging and I still haven't decided whether I want to use mulch or rocks on the pathway!

The right side of the path was finally filled in wih plants last year and I want to get the left side done this year. It is in deep shade and I'm planning on planting Hostas, Ferns, Lily of the Valley and perhaps some other deep shade plants. It's been a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it when it done.

Thanks Netty! Actually, that was the way I was leaning too because my lawn mower is in the shed and I thought perhaps the rocks would make it more difficult to get out. I also felt the mulch would be more fitting with the rustic setting. Of course, the only drawback with mulch is that you have to keep replacing it.

Sawdust would look pretty good too and it's great to walk on. Soft but firm. Very cheap and will last for ages.
