So far we mostly used it in paths but I'll admit - the plants LOVE to reseed themselves there. They already knew they'd get what they wanted surrounded by granite I suppose. Now I'm looking around my beds and wondering where else the granite would work to advantage!

I've longe wondered why some rocky areas loom and some don't. This is enough to make me want to create a decomposed granite area just for wildflowers.
