Mulch does most of the work. A thick layer, a few inches of bark or wood chip, stops new seeds getting light. For a big weedy patch, lay flattened cardboard down first and mulch on top of that. Hoe small seedlings on a dry sunny day and leave them to shrivel. Pull the bigger ones after rain when the soil is soft and the roots come out whole. Dandelions and docks regrow from any root left behind. Boiling water works on cracks in paving. Vinegar only burns the leaves, so perennials just come back. Main thing is don't let anything set seed.
