Finally, the summer season has come, and with it - all its charms and shortcomings. Do you knead the dirt in the garden with your feet after the rain and barely reach the house with your boots stuck? How familiar to everyone who has country house! And here is the dilemma: either you wait for rain and rejoice that it waters the seedlings, then you curse it, scraping the dirt from the porch. But solving the problem is as easy as shelling pears beds tracks. “It costs a lot of money,” - you say, but again you will be mistaken, since they can be made from improvised, waste material.

Remains of boards and cuts
If you were under construction relatively recently, you probably have trimming boards.
If the boards are painted, they can last for more than one season. And for greater safety for the winter, they can be removed to the barn.
Wooden cuts are another option for paths, and you will definitely like this idea for its aesthetics. Dice with a thickness of at least 5-7 cm before laying it would be good to treat with linseed oil or paint.
Old brick
If you have in stock old brick, it is quite suitable for tracks. Whether it is whole or broken is not so important. It's better than kneading dirt anyway. If you have time, you can "get confused" with artistic styling.
Screenings, crushed stone and gravel
Bulk paths always look very nice. The only problem is that the bulk material goes into the ground. This can be solved very simply: bed first geotextile, and on it - gravel or screenings.
You can, of course, just do with geotextiles, without any backfill, but lightweight fabric will be pressed into the wet ground, so walking along such paths is not very convenient.

Car tire tracks
Another waste material that may come in handy in the country is old car tires. If you cut a tire so that only a strip with a tread remains, you will get a rubber band, the service life of which is practically unlimited.
If you want bright paths - paint them. If you want wide ones, weave the tires together. Plus, if you need to plow a vegetable garden, the tape from the tires can be easily removed for this time.
Paths from plastic boxes
If you have a stock of plastic boxes that usually carry fruit, you're in luck. It is a great material for garden paths. Separate the bottom from the walls - and you will have a light and cute openwork tile.
What else can you think of?
There are other options for decorating the tracks, for example, using lids from old pots - just lay them with the loop down.
You can also use large pebbles or the remains of ceramic tiles. In a word, it is quite possible to build free tracks from scrap materials. And this video shows how you can make concrete tiles yourself:
