I am not entirely familiar with your available resources; but, what I
recall of the region is much like here in the Sierra Nevada of
California: lots of granite. I suggest crushed rock, decomposed granite
or limestone [the latter may not work due to you rains]. These materials
can be watered and rolled in; that is, use a lawn roller. They will
form a permanent path that is weed resistant, easy to maintain, creates
a barrier between garden plots, comfortable to walk on and is wheelchair
accessible. I have used decomposed granite here on many nature trails. I
can get it for free from the US Bureau of Land Management. It just
requires a reliable truck or two and some volunteers with shovels and
strong backs. Mulch may look nice; but, it can create problems. We do
not need that one. Mulch the garden plots; rock the paths.
