> Hi! My query is about the footpath outside my house. I bought my house this year. I know I’m responsible for maintaining the verge (by mowing), but I’m not sure how best to look after the strip of pavement you can see on the left. It looks like the concrete was removed at some point and weeds now grow there freely - and they are trying to push iug into ghe concrete. I have sprayed and will remove them, but it’s not a good place for grass (too small to mow). I wanted to log the problem and see whether I could potentially put a better solution in place by putting gravel down to suppress the weeds that will continue to grow there. I realise it will rank very low in terms of priorities for resurfacing so just wondering if I should do something about it. Thanks
