Default General advice sought on gravelling a garden

For heavens sake dont use Bark Chippings. They are APITA. They attract
woodlice by the million. They rot down and need replacing. When the
wind blows the top ones dry off and blow everywhere.


I have the entire back garden bark chipped - the birds love it...

Yes, they rot and need adding to on an annual basis, but our two dogs
probably scatter more than the wind blows...

Ours is very shallow (2" max in places) but it still does a very good
job at keeping weeds down generally.
