Is that a newly laid path? Will you interplant with anything, or just keep it clear? I love the clean look, but find that difficult to maintain. I've tried various plants between stones but haven't found a clear 'winner' yet.

Deb,

Thank you very much.

This is a redo. I first laid the path with weed cloth. I believe weed cloth is great for growing weeds and making it very difficult to get them out. Weed cloth gone! I am never using that again. The previous owner used plastic every where. It pains me.

Anyway. I can't keep it clear but at least the weeds just grow huge and are easier to remove. I read a little about types of ground cover that can be used. I have moss between some of the original flagstones to my door and actually weed the moss. It is easy but I feel like Martha Stewart for some reason. I went up and down my road, in the meadow and in my yard to look for low lying plants/weeds. I would love to do all thyme but I would dig up too much of the meadow. So for now, I planted what I found and see what takes. All can handle foot traffic. Oh I am starting at the edge to discourage other plants/weeds from intruding.

I suggest local semi-invasive weeds. Free!

Thank you again for the compliment. It encourages me to move forward.

I agree on the weed cloth! I've tried that in a couple places and end up with weeds that seed themselves in the top mulch, then wiggle their roots through the weed cloth, making it nye impossible to pull out.

Agreed! Weed cloth was invented to grow weeds.
