For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.you can kill the weeds away from anything you want to keep with a bleach/salt solution...for those coming through near plants use a directional spray weed killer ...loads on the market..aim and squirt from close quarters...then as they reappear pull them out....it is like the Forth Road Bridge though...
I've put membranes down in 2 different areas of my garden.
Both times, I put 3 layers down - it might seem excessive, but hardly any weeds come through. The only weeds that do sprout, are the ones that creep through at the edges of the membranes and the ones that take root in the actual pebbles themselves.
Whatever chemicals, etc that you use, may fix the problem temporarily, but the weeds will return.
It might be a bit of work involved, but I'd personally redo it and put more layers on - the more the better :)
