    Since you live in Las Vegas, Maria, you may want to tap all that sun power you have and try soil solarization. In addition to killing the weeds, it will also kill many disease-causing organisms. For step-by-step directions, see this link:

    And I hate to break it to you but you really need to rake up all those rocks and get rid of the plastic underneath. As you've found out, it's far more trouble than it's worth, and really only has a place under a path or patio where nothing is going to be planted.
