Weed Control Experiment #2: Smother 'Em
The 'lawn' is full of creeping charlie with a smattering of dandelions  and the occsional blade of grass.
 Chatting with a co-worker at lunch the other day (the only reason I go  to work is to learn new things), I remembered using newspaper to  suppress weeds when we moved the sidewalk. So I spread some around in  the experiment area.
