preparing a garden for tenants...
 

I am about to rent out my house, which has an overgrown garden.
I don't want to just mulch everything, as there are bulbs coming
through (daffs, canterbury bells, and tulips) and
strawberries/camomile etc which self seeds throughout.
But I don't want the weeds (sticky weed, some awful suckering thing
and privet) to take over.
I think it is impossible, but does anyone have any ideas?

Green concrete sounds good to me at this stage.

It's probably impossible.
Generally tenants will look after and maintain a well kept garden. Weed it
regularly, and possibly prune when needed.
If the garden is overgrown to start off with, I don't think they are going
to care for it as much, and the weeds will take over until the day they move
out, when they might do a quick tidy up.
Unless somehow you can specify in the contract that the gardens be
maintained in the current condition.

Good luck
