i don't do patios but why not lay it on a lime mortar

Robert Sparling says:

Dig 30 cm deep about 10 cm wider than the patio you want.  Compact in 5 cm of base stone.  Cement in border stones.  Compact in 17 cm of base stone.  Top with 5 cm of 3 – 5 stone drawn flat.  Lay 3 cm pavers. Fill with quartz sand.

Robert Stubbs says:

not how I would have done it but not bad.building sand for pointing, sharp sand for mixing sand screed which I would have done dry

Rob Harrison says:

What sort of plate compactor should be used to compact soil and hardcore? Can a small compactor be used (even if I go over the area a few times)?

Too much work.   we now screed on one inch conduit or the like.   Compaction is key then gravel that holds form and binds together, then a bed of stone dust to allow discernment of intellectual compository  properties the variance of forgiveness and  akin to steel and metals.  In other words, build your base , compact.  Build another base of gravel, compact.     Bed of dust with pitch  and polymeric sand.   um, right?
