I had a bit if a woe-is-me thread about keeping on top of my garden earlier on AIBU and have come here to seek more practical advice 
.
Garden is south-facing but has a few quite big trees which must block out some of the sun, meaning the lawn does not extend the full-width of the garden. I have been here two years, and the first year we ended up with waist height nettles, corny looking stuff and huge grass 
. Last year I put a membrane and stones on most of this section and plonked the trampoline on it. This works quite well, though there are gigantic dandelions under it, despite the membrane 
.
However, there is still a sort of border (not a properly dug one, just an edge without lawn, that needs to be sorted. I have dug out a huge nettle today and pulled out other stuff that is rampant there, and just really need some ground-cover to try and minimise the weeds. It is an awkward shape as there are a few medium-sized shrubs around it and I feel like there must be something I could put there.
I would love wildflower seeds, but I'm guessing they would block it off for the dc and attract a lot of bees, which I know is a good thing, but I don't want the dc to be unable to use the garden due to bees.
Help please!
