planting in decomposed granite?

13 years ago

Hello, I just installed a stepping stone decomposed granite path (about 3"-4" thick). I want to plant some ground cover in the path to break up the stepping stones. Do I just dig a couple of inches down and plant ground cover in the decomposed granite? Do I dig a few inches and add some compost first in the whole before planting the ground cover?

Thanks!

What kind of soil have you got under the granite?
