    Funny as I just ordered a Hoselink hose. I saw the lights and was tempted. You put me over the edge, I got three sets of the garden path light. I wish those had the same features of the ones you like but the stainless steel look just doesn’t go in my yard so I got the black ones. Looking forward to them. And I already know to expect quality from Hoselink. They are the best!! Thanks for the video, I think my hubby is getting too agressive with our Weed Dragon! He burns my plants and doesn’t always kill the weeds, I think ours are too big😢. We must have to keep doing it to be effective! Thank you!

Students late for class are going to walk the straight line you spoke of. The powers that be thought they could fix the problem with signs saying “do not walk on grass”. I posted a sign saying “put sidewalks where they will be walked on!”.

    Hi Erin! Thanks for doing this video! I put in a gravel path in the side & back of my house. I have an adopted whippet who loves to course and hunt. She goes flying off the steps and hits the gravel which then becomes shrapnel on her tiny legs. I have had to leave landing spots in the paths so that I'm not constantly having to bandage her legs. It's not a good look for sure! I am thinking about alternatives for the path and this has come at just the right time, I just wanted to make the point about considering pets when making a path. Thanks again. Victoria🙂

On reason was a busy street with lots of dogs, love dogs but to clean up after responsible dog owners not so much. So I had to argue with the city planner No landscape fabric I said if you put it down, I will take it up, so I won others on either side of me have the fabric and have the weeds I do not. Love your pathways, 👍❤️🙂

    Hi, Erin - We just bought a smaller version of a propane weeder and it's been raining so we haven't used it yet. It will save us a lot of time with weeds on our brick patio. As far as stone paths, we have five very large stones set in grass, leading from our brick patio to the fence gate. We choose stones that are not user-friendly. They get a terrible black soot appearance to the top and their beautiful natural finish is ruined. We've tried everything on them to clean them, including a power washer. Not the prettiest, but they are too massive to move and switch out. You should have seen me and my husband getting them in! It was a challenge for sure. So, for viewers planning a path, be sure to know the type of stone you are getting and how it will mature in your garden.

    Great dive into paths and human behavior! People can be so lazy. When you talked about giving path takers a reason to curve, otherwise they'd just walk the shortest distance, it brought to mind the myriad of unsightly "user paths" I tend to see in public spaces and the designers who didn't think it through like you. I remembered how the quad at URI had so many paths but if they didnt make perfect tangents the students would find them (the perfect tangents!) It also brought to mind Walt Disney's study which determined that trash cans had to be no more than 30 feet apart or people would just throw their crap on the ground 😮. I really appreciated this content Erin!! ❤

    I love the Hoselink path lights, which are dimmed full-time and motion-activated for a brighter light around my stone patio. I've tested three solar lights; IMO none are great for a more sophisticated ambient light. They're dreamy! I'm testing metal flashing (made for construction uses) instead of metal landscaping edging. It has a dark brown side and a white side, so I definitely pile the wood chips to hide the white side. It's a cheaper solution, and I found the thinness and varying heights to work well to keep out Bermuda grass. I can't speak to how many years it will work, but mine is still working and looking good after a year. Love your videos, Erin!

    @@ganymededarlingIn my experience, gravel is a happy home for so many weeds and I no longer use it on paths. Landscape fabric and gravel compound the problem. The landscape cloth under the gravel wears down over time (even the stuff guaranteed for years) and weed seeds find the tiniest holes. Then you have weeds growing up through the cloth barrier. Some weeds you can pull easy enough but deeply rooted plants, like dandelions, are difficult to remove. You can’t easily push your weeding tool through the landscape cloth to get hold of the dandelion without causing more damage to the landscape fabric.

    I use polymeric sand around my flagstones and love it. Usually comes in gray or tan. Water moves through, weeds and ants don’t come up. I freshen it up every few years where gaps have appeared with a pourable measuring cup and water spray bottle or mist setting on the hose. Yes you have to keep organic material off the path-blowing, sweeping so dirt is not created but that is easy to do.

    Erin, great podcast. I always enjoy your content. Where have I been but I have never heard of a flame weeder? I did order the cobra head weeder. Can't have too many good garden tools. I too am a great fan of the Hoselink solar lights. I have just been blown away at how well they work.

    I do have the smaller hand held weed torch. I have used it for a few years now. It is my favorite tool in the garden. Be careful because I have caught mulch on fire a time or two 😂😂😂😂. My husband worries about my toes because I’m always in flip flops.

    I love this. I'm in the middle of designing some paths for my house. The only things I would add would be -- think about what/who will be travelling on the paths. Do you need to get equipment/ride-on mower etc., through there? Do you want it to be wide enough for two people to walk side by side or single file? Same with gates -- what needs to fit through them? I love the flame weeder. I definitely would like to get one of those. That's impressive that the hoselink solar lights have lasted many years. Most solar landscape lights I've tried usually die in under a year. Which type of the weathered steel edging did you use -- the flex?

    Love all the information Erin! Where was this 2 years ago when I attempted my brick path. It is a flop with weeds coming through. I will definitely put your tips and insight into my next attempt. 🌱

    Excellent coverage of the topic of garden paths. I so love your earthy style fellow gardener. Screen shotted the wood slat path as a possible composite version is on my radar. Any advice?

    You are the first person I have heard ,who is as passionate as I am about garden paths. They are pure magic to me. Stone, gravel, old brick, slate.... they are so welcoming. They pull you into a space and make you curious. I also like curved lines in my garden. I try and eliminate any straight lines or sharp angles. Love the way your meandering path just pulls you further and further into the space. At 6:04 ... was that Mackinaw Island ? I have some slate stones in an area of my back patio, that are always katywampas because gophers tear up the soil underneath. whihc causes them to shift and slope. Its very frustrating! I was wondering of sand under the stones would repel gophers.
