All advice that has been given is good, especially the outside part.
A few years ago i dug up an area that was going to be for a barbecue, i lined the area with thick black poly. then a layer 3inch thick of gravel, but i never used it.
Nature took over, any seedlings that grow are very easy to remove, just a simple tug and they are out, none of this large thick roots, the poly. stops that.
If you have a garden just make a simple frame the size you need, scatter your seeds and stand back, no watering no feeding, put it in a shady area and that's it.
As stated the seeds may need a couple of years to germinate, but you will find you have more success doing it this way. Cheers.
