we have just moved into a new build and I have leveled out, de-stoned and weeded the rear garden in preparation for sowing a lawn in the spring time.What is the best way of keeping the prepared site clear of weeds until such time as we sow the lawn once the weather turns in March/April?

rosa rugosa rubra.....I planted over 300 as a hedge next to our drive two years ago. This summer I noticed a few that had been so aggressive that they had tried to burrow under the kerb (1.5metres away) and then tried to surface via the tarmac base coat. What sould I do??? I dont mant to take them out as they are a valuable tool for my bees and birds and their fragrance far outweighs their dark side!!!!
