I just want to mark out areas in the 'garden' to plan/visualise ideas. Then rub off and re-do.

Temporary line marker paint seems a bit pricey at £8 - £10 for 750ml; is there a more domestic product that will do the same job?

(Shaving foam is a little too temporary)

Ta.

Flour?!

I don't want some kind of soggy batter all over the garden after every re-plan and rain fall!

big fat kids chalks from ikea (thats big bits of chalk, not chalk for fat kids) can work well but on rougher surfaces can run down to nothing in a few feet. More resilient is 'french chalk' or soapstone which are actually slices of chalk stone rather than chalk dust pressed together. You can get that in engineering or welding suppliers locally or amazon/ebay quite cheaply

Cement when we're desperate at work, you tried builders merchants? I pay 4 quid a tin.
