Our garden now looks like the Somme  Confused ! 

To be honest I’ve not had a lot to do with it. I did help measure & mark out .      after     

Lots of other trenches

The best way to do this is take what you need for the paths out first then the just make the rest do. You could always supplement it with some of your own gravel, if you have some, at the bottom.

Yeah, that’s not going to work. Being really generous towards the ditches with my estimations . I’d need 8 of those bags for my paths.

Just in case you couldn’t judge how big the hole was in yesterday’s photos.      Bob venturing into it for the first time. 
We now have a concrete pad in the bottom of the big hole . That’s what we’ve been up to this morning.       
 Luckily finished just before the rain started.

At first I though it was just a soakaway but with a concrete pad in the bottom I am guessing it wil eventually be a silt trap? Huh
