Does anyone have any good ideas about how to get rid of weeds and
grass
from a rather large sloped area in my garden?

as weeds like twitch and dandelions make excellent root cuttings :-(

Why aren't dandelions considered to be a meadow flower?

I've always liked dandelions and have always left them in the garden
(and I'm interested in the hstory of food and in self sufficiency so
they also get a thumbs up with me for that aspect).

Mu husband hates them and keep spreading them by trying to dig them
out (I don't tell him he's really multiplying them :-)) so I was
delighted to show him the picture from "The Garden at Highgrove" where
Prince Charles has them in his wildflower meadow.
