Hi Woodcas.
I have just done part of my garden and i used a membrain, or thick plastic. You can usualy buy from a good DIY shop or a garden center B&Q carry it as well.

Hi Woodcas,
I've just put down woodchip paths, and used weed barrier underneath. This lets the water drain through it while discouraging weeds and keeping the woodchips (or stones in your case of course!) separate from the soil.
The only thing I'd say about pots is that they tend to be higher maintenance as they'll need much more watering than plants directly in the soil would...

 

thanks for all your advice this is superb site lots of help from everyone

 

Welcome to you woodcas, good luck with your border
