A while ago there was a post about a mix of sand and clay used by
"brickies" (bricklayers) as a bed for brick paving.
Can't for the life of me remember what heading it came under.
What would be the ratio of sand to clay? Also would it make a
good 'bed' for a pebbled path?
I want to pebble a section of my garden where, the dogs tearing up
and down have 'done in' the lawn altogether, it just gave up and
stopped even trying to grow.
