Paving paths - joints permeable to water / weed-free

Yesterday, the newspaper here suggested that it's okay to let the terrace grow a little with weeds – as a mini cooling system for the terrace, which then also emits less heat.
So I accidentally did everything right. :D

Does a little weed really bring that much? The bigger gains are probably to be expected if you make the terrace one meter shorter ;)

By the way, your terrace is making me think whether that might be an option for us too. New bricks are rather expensive and hard to get in the south, but sometimes you can find some at reasonable prices from demolition houses. Does anyone know if there is anything to consider for paths and terraces or can you just use any old bricks for paving? I’d rather exclude the driveway because of car traffic. But do these old bricks survive if you go over them with a vibrating plate?

Anyone who does not report in accordance with the government does not get contracts and therefore no money.

These are your thoughts when you read that greening is not wrong? Holy moly. ;)

With greenery in joints etc., I only have concerns that it can become slippery quickly? Or is that less of a problem with the structure? Otherwise, you just have to be careful that it doesn't grow too big and strong. At my parents' place, a bush planted itself on a temporarily unused terrace within a year, which then started to shift the slabs ;) (But with a used terrace, you would probably notice that) Nature sometimes asserts itself faster than you think. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo on hand right now (I could ask if they still have one)

Hello Bertram

Today's scribblers are untrained Green voters strictly raised according to the party line.
Whoever does not report in conformity with the government receives no assignments and thus no money.
At the moment, the narrative is such that the ruling politicians are not to blame for the energy crisis, but (the new word for winter) the energy wasters.
Read the newspaper as was customary in the GDR: between the lines.

Otherwise, are you still doing well? :rolleyes:

Yesterday in our newspaper, it was suggested to let the terrace be a bit overgrown with weeds - as a mini cooling system for the terrace that then also emits less heat.

Great! For various reasons, we haven't been able to remove the weeds from the joints at the curb for 6 weeks. I'll just tell the nagging neighbor that I'm contributing to a better microclimate and that he is disturbing my plan with his joint mortar :)

Hello Bertram The writers of today are untrained green voters educated strictly in line with the direction. Those who do not report in accordance with the government receive no contracts and therefore no money. At the moment, the direction is such that the ruling politicians are not to blame for the energy crisis, but (this will be the new word in winter) the energy wasters.

heard live in conversation just yesterday: if everything between the lines is white, then there is nothing written! Why do men/women always want to interpret something into other things? If someone has something to say, they should say it. Clearly and distinctly, not possibly "between the lines" My brain at least does not have a fortune-telling or clairvoyant function built in :(. Maybe it will come in Burkhard 2.0? :D P.S. Nevertheless, I partly agree with you that unfortunately we already have somewhat aligned media. And there is still room for improvement in the democracy index.
