If pesky stones are spoiling your garden, then there’s a way to ensure they don’t move and end up where they shouldn’t be. It’s on the pricier side, but well worth the investment
If you’ve incorporated stones as part of your outdoor space, then you’ll know how pesky they can be.
Yes, they may look great, but the second you walk across them they end up strewn everywhere you don’t want them to be, and can even get stuck in your sandals – which is less than ideal.
DIY experts have shared a handy hack, however, to help you keep your stones in place all summer long – and beyond. Thankfully, it’s really easy to do, and it means you can “wave goodbye to unruly stones” as it’s a “water-based, non-harmful, easy-to-use binder that leaves stones permeable, with a protective sheen”.
@east_shore_home said that if your “stones won’t stay put”, there’s something that you can try. In the caption, they wrote: “ASMR edition! This brilliant product from @Vuba Resin called Easi-hold binds unruly stones together, sealing them in a permeable protective layer. This coating also prevents discolouration and is non-toxic, so is safe for little people and pets.”
They then proceeded to demonstrate how well the product works by spraying it on their stones, and then stomping around on them – and they didn’t even budge.
The pour-on resin costs £29.99, so is a little pricey, but is worth the investment. It can be poured on, sprayed on, or mixed in depending on what you’d prefer. The website states: “Stones between 4mm and 10mm in diameter work the best, but even stones up to 20mm can work well if angular and clean.”
In the comments of the video, someone wrote: “I ordered this today. I’m hoping it’ll work as my son’s puppy keeps eating the gravel. praying for fine weather to apply it but here in the North East it may be a few days before we see sunshine again.”
Some asked what happened with “drainage”, and the original poster replied: “Its’ 100% permeable, no drainage needed”. And, if you were wondering how often it needs to be redone, it’s “once a year”.
