Burning the area first will also kill a lot of weed seeds. The great thing
is it will not really affect any native seeds there.

Unless of coure you are in a fire sensitive area like a former
rainforest. The approach there is to encourage seed spreading birds
to come in. If you don't have any large trees, the provision of
artificial perches might help. Of course the birds bring weeds in too
which have to be dealt with, potentially for quite a long time (until
they're shaded out).
