Can I cover penny tiles in my bathroom without removing them?
My bathroom floor has ceramic penny tiles, I would like to redo the floor but don't want to have to remove them. Is there anything I can cover them with?
Might be kind of a pain in the neck , but best to remove the stone . Make sure you remove weeds first or they'll just get tilled in and come right back . If the tiller is beefy enough , and you don't care about the soil , you could till in SMALL stones , create large pockets of nice soil to plant in , but might regret this in the future .
To get a much better growing area you should remove as much of the stone as you can. Place some fresh top soil and maybe a couple of bags of sheep or cow manure, Put down some garden fabric, and if you have any extra newspaper, place that down first, wet it and then put down the garden fabric. Put your plants in after cutting slits in the fabric and then mulch with cedar around the plants.
Hi Victoria. If the stones are like pea stones and very small you should be fine to till them into the soil. If it is a very deep layer of stone I would remove them. Adding smaller stones to the soil can help with drainage. My thought is that the stones won't harm the plants if tilled into the soil. I live in an area where the soil is very rocky. It makes it harder to dig but is good for the plants and trees.
