The weeds sprout above the weed mat in dirt that has collected in the rocks. The roots are thus very shallow and the weeds are easily pulled up. Or use a hula hoe to easily take care of larger areas.

More aggressive plants like Mexican Petunia's seek out seams in the mat and come up there with deep roots that are more difficult to pull.
