Yes all very true I just hand weed it. Does reduce frequency and type though, more tree seedlings rather than early succession weeds . It's just a small sections all around the house rather than a bed or something substantial but perhaps I will seed it with some campanula for bees too .

I had a similar thing happen when I moved in here, all weed matting over pea shingle I didn't realise it was there for a few years because so much organic material had formed on top. I was pressing apples and left the pomace there and so seedlings developed but they ended up messed up due the roots being all tangled in the matting. Hated it ever since then.
