Beds or paths

I had old rubber mats on the allotment, but I’ve a mixture of slab, bark and gravel in the back garden. I prefer gravel as you can spray the weeds or just pull them. The bark is wet and messy after the rain and the weeds soon become rampant between the slabs but are much harder to get out than gravel.

The only negative to gravel is my spaniel likes drying himself on dusty gravel just after a hose down meaning you have to start all over again.
