Based on our 20mm sized stones, 1 bulk bag of gravel will cover approximately 12 sqm at 50mm depth
Not much use as they don't give a weight per bulk.
25kg of gravel will cover an area measuring around 0.6sqm. This is based on wanting coverage of about 50mm in depth

Remember to put down weed proof membrane.

Seems pointless if temporary. You'll just curse removing it all. The crazy paving isn't so bad

Your back? :p
Maybe just stick the bike shed on, lift some stones randomly and put plants/soil in the holes?
I got it in a back garden as a small path. I will dump the cheap nasty concrete bits but re-use the strong grey stone bits for a path.

As a temporary measure for sorting out my crazy paving front yard (more crazy than paved) I'm thinking of ripping it up and putting some stones/gravel down (plus one of those plastic shed bases so I can put a bike store in).
Firstly, does this sound a reasonable idea? Anything to look out for?
I guess I want something like 20mm washed gravel, how do I work out how much of it I need? How does the weight translate to area?
Cheers
