Default making a bark/gravel path

In article , writes
Don't bet on it - on either count! Nettles are stopped as effectively
by mown grass as a path, and ground elder, greater bindweed and lily
of the valley (plus others) will run under several feet of paving
slabs, let alone gravel.

It's a bit like paving versus decking!




Yes but if I do what Janet suggests and put a board on the bed side and
also use weedkiller down path wouldn't that help?
