Period path

[tobydog]

Hi. Would appreciate some simple advice. I'm repairing the path around our greenhouse. The picture shows a third of it and it's the worst part. The path appears to have been laid on a bed of sand and cement but then, really annoyingly, grouted with earth . I spend hours each year picking out the weeds. I have plenty of NHL 2 and 3.5 available so I plan to use that. Can anyone foresee any problems using NHL in this way? We should have a dry period coming up soon which will give it time to set/cure. I suppose I should really remove all the remaining earth and not just grout the first inch or two. Thanks

NHL is an excellent idea. I have a patio area using old pamments pointed with NHL like that and it's great, but it does puddle....at least the earth was letting the water drain away.

Hi Zebra. Thanks. I should have said pointed rather than grouted! When it rains now the gaps where I've removed the bricks do fill with water. It soon drains away though. Think I'll use the NHL 2 as I've used it on our internal sole plate plinths and it's plenty strong enough.
