Artificial Grass!

[BarleySugar]

Some frieds of mine put in raised beds at their allotment, and used the fake grass for their paths, put down on top of weed supressant. Although the idea took a bit of getting used to, it did work well for keeping down the mud through all the recent rain. Mind you I don't think cost was an issue as they had a truck full of topsoil delivered to fill the beds as well as new shed, paved patio etc.

Have you considered putting bark down? I've got this round my raised beds and it looks good and has been excellent in the wet weather.

we were lucky to get given some second hand stuff for lottie use,is very heavy indeed,as tis full of sand,slabs are our main path,we use it for side paths and a patio area,great for walking on,blends in with the suroundings lovely,and can be moved if you wish,with a bit of help and muscle,would not want it as my home lawn as is to big an area,plus i like the use of mowings,but if we had a small garden i would,as no need to house a mower lol,

The roundabout into our village has artificial grass on (as an advert for the artificial grass company) which now looks like real grass as after 2 years the weeds have successfully grown through it. Areas of walking may have less weeds but I don't think it's very permenant.

Still think its orrible stuf...........

You may as wel stick a few plastic flowers and veg in when you're on if you've got a plastic fetish....

Come to think of it, you can get plastic link-a-board, plastic grass between beds, plastic flowers around the edges with plastic veggies in the beds (all planted in plastic soil of course) and you may as well finish it off with a plastic greenhouse.

Hey, I like my little plastic blowaway greenhouse!!

Reminds me of someones front garden near me. They have patioed over the whole thing and put concrete planters everywhere....then for some bizarre reason stuck plastic greenery in the tubs and concreted them in!!
Unfortunately the sun has affected the plastic shrubs and they have all gone bright turquoise!!:O (its like a martians garden!LOL).

its nice to have artificial grass and plants.

Fake grass have no longer life and it is spoiled very soon after installing in the garden. You do not feel comfortable on fake grass compare to artificial or natural grass.

Not sure what you're saying here, rosehenry Fake grass is the same as artificial grass.

I think it's obvious what the difference is - £15 per square meter. £25 psm if you want faux grass instead

[veggiechicken]

Faux grass must be from one of those expensive artificial lawn suppliers
Call it whatever you like - fake, faux, artificial, plastic, imitation...........if you don't need to mow it, its NOT grass!

You can't beat walking barefoot on real grass.
