Slate Vs. Weeds

Hi All,

I promise I searched [twice] - so apologies if this is asked daily

- Any comments on tidying up our front border which is planted with 20 or so mixed shrubs and accompanied by thistles, grass and general weed-type rubbish [despite taking it to task occasionally]

Laid that anti-weed membrane [correct term?] but the weeds grew around edges etc. and pushed their way through.

New plan is to lay it again with good overlaps and pin down edges carefully and then rake a suitably deep [how deep?] layer of slate chipping over it ???

I just need to know if this is a suitable plan and where to buy the slate

Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

Raiser.
