It is a constant battle. It’s the weed seeds that are giving you problems, they blow in from all over and land wherever. Landscape fabrics won’t prevent these invaders. Keep using your weed killer. Walk your property and spray at least every 7 days. Keep the weeds from flowering. Once they flower, they spread their seeds. I hate using chemical as well, but it’s better than pulling the weeds. You might leave some part of the plant behind, where it simply grows from the fragment.

Persistence is key. You live in a climate with an extended growing season. Yard work is never completed, only abandoned.
