I moved into our present property about a year ago.

The previous owners had the front garden "stones" - i.e. a membrane put
down and covered by pebbles and stones. It looked nice when we moved in
and last year wasn't too bad.

However this year there has been a great number of weeds etc. growing
through the fabric and stones. I don't want to pull them up as I feel it
would only disturb the fabric more and make the opportunity for more
weeds to grow through; I have therefore continually treated them with
Pathclear".

Am I doing right?

Should the area have deteriorated so quickly?

What is my best course of action? - I am arthritic and cannot do too
much myself
I have had the same happen, however the weeds have not been growing
through the membrane but above it. Try pulling one out, if like mine
they will uproot very easily causing no damage.
