I have a similar a...Lovely colours, lovely beads! <br /><br />I have a similar area, gravel and kind of paved too, very old, quite higglety piggeltry but it looks goes with the cottage. I spray it with Roundup and that keeps it tidy for ages. Path Clear says that it works for up to 3 years (it doesn't!) Roundup kills the weeds right down to the roots but it's over a week before they begin to die but they don't come back. New seeds get into the gravel and cracks making it weedy again but if you keep on top of it and pick them off when they're small, you may not need to spray again. You need to keep grazing animals (guinea pigs for you, tortoise for me) away for 6 months, other pets are OK when the spray is dry. (In my old life, I worked for 5 years for a herbicide/insecticide manufacturer and so I feel I have to say this ... always read the label).

It gets to the point where you're breathing in hot, muggy air which is just horrid and you have to give in.<br /><br />Thanks for the bead compliments!<br /><br />Laura xLaura Sparlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291538001842729975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490460042834444771.post-23981683084267353752010-07-09T16:15:05.754+01:002010-07-09T16:15:05.754+01:00I have just come inside to take refuge from a hot ...I have just come inside to take refuge from a hot shed as well.
