The chip is what we use for paths, I just happen to not want the hassle of strimming them, have already done in one window on the shed with a flicked stone.
It’s not foolproof at keeping weeds at bay, especially dandelions and depending on time of year the chip varies in quality- this winter stuff is ace for paths as it’s dry and no leaf in there. Summer chip tends to be a bit claggier and good for mulching plants more than for the paths.
We just had some good stuff delivered so want to get them all topped up. You’d be amazed how much chip a path can absorb annually. Will be ace soil one day so might shift the beds in future.
There’s membrane underneath the path along the side of the building and in front of our compost bays as they’re going to be chip permanently.
Grass paths are nice too but not for me.
