    Thank you for this video. I was planning to do my garden with gravel too but hesitated because I thought I would need professional help which would be too expensive. I have informed my family that we now have a group project😊 Congrats on your beautiful garden❤

      That is so good to hear! 💚 That’s why I made the video, because I had a lot of questions, but couldn’t find answers in one place and I was also worried about the labor. But with the help of your family, you should be able to get it done fairly easily. Good luck!

    For anyone considering using gravel in their garden, I would suggest just making sure that there are no trees in the immediate vicinity which might drop leaves, blossoms, seeds, etc on top of the gravel. I learned this the hard way - it’s very difficult to remove such litter, particularly from small gravel. Eventually, what’s not cleaned up decomposes and forms an ever-increasing mulch layer on top of the landscape fabric, which then enables weeds to germinate (the very thing the fabric is meant to eliminate). On the other hand, if there is no potential litter problem, then this solution is a great way to go, and looks fantastic.

      Thanks for the tip. I have seen others suggest using a light blower on the gravel to move leaves and debris. Did you try that and did it work for you?

    I’m concerned for your drainage! The engineered fabric you used is woven and will not allow moisture to permeate it. Yes, it’s exponentially more durable, but it’s intended for retention of soils and to drive water downward in a vertical application. Please post an update once you’ve had a winter season or some rain, because I’m very curious to know if it causes you any issues. Looks great!

    • @AlnissaGrows
      @AlnissaGrows  3 місяці тому +1

      Thanks! We’ve rain and actually had back to back thunderstorms for the past few days and the drainage has been good with no issues so far.

Your garden is beautiful!

    • @AlnissaGrows
      @AlnissaGrows  6 місяців тому

      I’m in zone 8a. We have a few more 30° days coming up so I haven’t planted out my warm weather crops yet. But plan to do so in the next week… As long as the temperatures stay above 55/60.

    Have you tried adding seating on the gravel? Is it sturdy enough? Considering this option, but want to make sure I can add my outdoor sofa! Looks great! Nice job!

    • @AlnissaGrows
      @AlnissaGrows  5 місяців тому +1

      So I haven’t added much seating other than my garden kneeler. I’d say you can move the gravel and place the sofa legs/feet on the ground then nestle the gravel around it. Kind of like I did the pavers. That’s what I did with a few planters to make sure they were nice and level

    What's size gravel I am looking to do something like this, but with larger stepping stone. Look great

    • @AlnissaGrows

      Mine are listed as 1/2 inch with a scattering of smaller pieces mixed in.

    It looks great! What is the edging for?

    • @AlnissaGrows
      @AlnissaGrows  6 місяців тому

      The edging keeps the gravel within that section of the garden. It’s like a barrier.

  • @amythuman8883
    @amythuman8883 5 місяців тому

    Do you think the gravel will move too much with not digging at least 3 inches deep and leveling the ground? I would love it to be this easy but I keep seeing about digging the whole area 3-5 inches deep then laying the fabric and whatever else

    • @AlnissaGrows
      @AlnissaGrows  5 місяців тому

      I saw that too. I guess it would make it more level, but I haven’t had any noticeable issues not having leveled it. I feel any dips can be filled with additional gravel to even it out. But it’s a personal choice. I didn’t want to go through that much work
