I tried the lot - mortar, cement & pit fines which in New Zealand is rocks12mm down to dust, and weeds still grow in it. So as in this topis I changed to white glue - PVA, and then to standard carpetglue which sets rubbery and stinks and has to be washed off with mineral turps. Its the best if you want to really stick things down and is reasonably quiet if thats what you want. Anyway in the end i gave it all up and went back to pure fines, nothing more. Our climate is subtropical, almost monsoon in northern parts and the pit fines sets in under rain and goes very hard. Why use more ??
