I have a house in Atlanta, 7b Piedmont, with a weedy sparse front
yard. It's all low growing and the weeds pop up tall shoots. Poor soil
with some pine straw. It's slanty ground with a big pine and a
dogwood. Kudzu is thriving next door and headed my way.

So, I've been popping the weeds out, they are hardly nothing but
some broad stubby leaves laying against the ground and the
aforementioned flower stalk. I can see this may not be working!

Suggestions?

What do you want to do to the area?
Sounds like it's mostly barren and you want
to make it completely barren except for the pine
and dogwood?
