Before we added the pea gravel we put down landscaping fabric which does a good job keeping the weeds out. If you could rake away the gravel and add the cloth now it will help.
Put down weed prevention paper under the pea gravel, then use the vinegar, dawn dish soap, and salt solution to spray the weeds that may pop up in the gravel on top the weed paper (eventually it will happen). With the weed paper down it is easy to pull any weeds that grow in the gravel if you pull them each week as part of the upkeep of your yard. They are small and come up easily without deep roots.
That's a tough one. I made a weed free flower bed but that dang clover is proving to be very determined to get through the weed block. I mostly pull them as I see them but with winter rain has encouraged them. I resorted to some non-roundup week killer.
