I'm really interested in the geotextile pavements that were mentioned at the end of the article. As someone who lives where it can get pretty rainy, having a cheap yet effective geotextile driveway would be great.
It is impressive, sure, but it also seems prone to clogging, and if it clogs just a bit under the surface, how can you clean it? A pressure washer will be no use, since it only cleans the surface, right?
I don’t know much about that. I do see some other options, like stabilized gravel where a hexagonal grid form is installed and then filled with gravel so that the gravel doesn’t move around.
This is what I'm afraid of. We already have too much microplstics in our environment, and is it worth reducing water runoff when the solution involves even more microplastics?
