Desired native grasses left in place. Invasive non-native grasses removed. Native wildflower and restoration seed mix can now be sown.
Though for a truly successful weeding, a steward living on the block will need to periodically check for, and pull, weed seedlings as they emerge. This gets easier over time as the amount of weed seed is continually reduced while native plant seed continually increases.
