Can anyone please tell me how to 'repoint' inbetween my patio slabs, some of the mortar seems to have worn away and could do with replacing.

    Hope it helps - we had a family building firm,  so I've got a bit of an idea what will work and what will describe the process clearly - good luck image

    What an excellent short informative video. I've never wanted to use cement as I thought it would mark my buff slabs. We have just brushed sand in, however it seems to get soil in and then becomes the best seed germination tray ever!  So that's one more project to add to the list. 

    Thanks for posting the link.
