Default Alternatives to cement for grouting slabs round pond

Some of the grout is getting a bit decrepit and we're thus losing the
hooks so I want to re-grout. Cement is not a 'good thing' in ponds
and I'm wondering if there are any alternatives I could use. There's
not a lot of bulk required, something stickier and gooier than cement
with (maybe) a bit of flexibilty would suit the job well.

Any ideas anyone?


Silicone sounds like the obvious. Throw some mortar (or other matching
masonry) dust on it when still wet to make it look part and parcel...
