I plan to take a week of work and sort out our garden. I want to install a ground level deck/path which looks like this.

Because the joists of the decking will all rest on the ground, am I ok to just dig the soil down and lay some DPC and gravel down and just rest the joists on that. Or do I need to set some concrete footings?
If it was going to be raised off the ground then I'd pour some concrete but I can't really be arsed seeing as I'll level the ground and the whole deck will be resting on the ground.
Any thoughts??
