Have been meaning to do this for a while, so had the wife come out
and take a few pics while I was working on the new path. Check out
the pictures in Ernie's Pictures in the photos section.
The project illustrated is one where I am using a pressure washer and
little red concrete mixer (HF special) to put PC on a path as weed
barrier and leveler. The leveling is mostly for the ornamental wall I
will be building on one side, two courses of rough cut landscape
brick. My mix is about 8 parts wet paper pulp to 1 part cement. I
used both Type I and Type S this time around, curious to see if there
is any long term difference.
I have already done a proof of concept for using this under my marble
chips, you can see it in the "Dried" picture. SG, that is the oldest
sample I have in continuous ground contact, not sure of the exact
date, the wife thinks it was 3 months ago, I am thinking 4 or 5. To
date it is not showing deterioration. I just did cover it with more
to raise the level a bit, but I have some more next to it under
pavers that I will not be adding to, so I can look at it again after
storm season is over.
If anyone has questions, feel free to ask. I must say that this beats
the HECK out of using the drill like I did for the first couple
projects. And so far that path has taken about 4 paper grocery bags
of shredded paper, plus about a weeks worth of newspapers.
