I spent a huge amout of time ridding my landscape of these two irritants.

I sifted. I tilled. I weeded. I covered. I let the land lay farrow while it
cycled through and I repeated like a good shampooing.

I plant my newest purchases of heirloom tomatoes and peppers, water, and
watch. Almost like a bad Disney slow-motion movie on plant life, the entire
20' X 20' patch of garden sprouted tufts of oxalis and foxtails.

I realize that oxalis explodes it's seeds into a multi-foot pattern to keep
it going and have asked neighbors on the back and side to step up their lawn
treatments to contain said pest. Is there a way of completely romoving
either of these weeds short of salting the land (to which they are able to
overcome, given the evidence in other parts of my yards)?

Best time to weed is before your weeds emerge. Consider the below URL
if your garden can get by by hand.
