There might be some information you can use here: https://www.finegardening.com/article/six-tips-for-effective-weed-control
There is a product called Preen. It works well.
You can use vinegar to kill them, but the new weeds will pop up, seeds blow, animals run through carrying seeds...here are some tips for control and prevention:

Preen will help or putting down a barrier but the only sure thing is pulling them. UGH! Even with barrier and spray, I have them pop up in mine because the wind will blow seeds into the area. If there is a tsp of dirt, I believe a weed will grow.
Not likely you will keep weeds out. Weed cloth, mulch, help but nothing will keep weeds out permanently. Person above suggested vinegar but the will kill plants you do want.
You can pull the weeds then use Preen found at hardware stores and Walmart but weeds will continue to come back- you can buy sprays that will kill them but read instructions so that you don't kill the plants you want to keep - there is nothing that stops weeds completely from returning
There isn't a product that keeps weeds out of the garden because they grow back. It is sort of like your hair you can go and get it cut but it grows so you have to keep getting it trimmed to maintain your look or style.
I use 1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt and 1 tablespoon of dawn. Mix apply in the morning on a sunny day so it can cook all day.
Weeds are torturous, aren't they?! They never seem to go away. Really the only tried and truest way to prevent weeds from coming back is to pull them and get the roots.
Hello. Weeds are a chronic problem. Sometimes supplying mulches are helpful and there is a preen product that some find useful.
In addition there are chemicals that you can apply that are both natural and commercial. Hope this helps.

Mulch your garden. First put a layer of newspaper and then put mulch on top of the paper. It will keep the garden soil cool and keep weeds out. owes and Home Depot have a sale on mulch until the end of April, Check it out.
