If there is a ‘photos of your Christmas tree’ thread this year, I do hope you’ll participate, James. I’ll wager your display will be the fanciest of the lot.
I think the yogurt thing is still dependent on conditions @jamesholt. I've never had to do anything to pots to get some ageing on them - it just happens here, as it's damp. We have loads of lichen clad trees and hedges round here - the climate suits them. I love seeing all the different ones in scree and rock when on hills I think if your conditions suit, the rock will change - that's a normal process. It'll take a wee while though. I laughed when I read your comment about places charging more for the lichen clad rock. Very enterprising, although I wonder how many people complain if it all disappears after a while! I would never remove it from any wall or paving. I love it. All part of nature, and enhances whatever it grows on.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It would annoy me, it's not curved or windy, it's just 'not quite straight'! However you'll definitely not see it with some clumps of planting alongside the path, some swathes of Miscanthus would look great if the climate allows.
"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour".
I have become a great lover of miscanthus. The only concern I am having with it is how large it has become in the garden. It is easily 2m by 2m in two years without showing signs of stopping its growth. How large does miscanthus get?
here is a new path I built wo weeks ago trying a base of gravel and instead of mortar im using decomposed granite as a fill. I decided to not even try to get it straight

There has to be a mistake because only God is perfect.
