Updating old stone-dust garden path

Updating old stone-dust garden path

Asked on 2 Jun, 2008

Our stone dust garden path was professionally laid 14 years ago. The ground underneath is pretty much solid rock. We now have weeds that are impossible to keep ahead of (we prefer not to use a herbicide) and so are planning to top up the path with another inch or two of stone dust.
Is this apt to solve our weed problem?
Should we lay weed cloth first or will the stone dust wash off it?
We plan to rent a compactor. Should the stone dust be wet or dry when being compacted?
