Similar problem here! I've been letting grass grow to about `5 cm high then pulling it and leaving it in 2-handful bunches with the roots exposed. Left in rows while I do the next piece. That seems to be doing the trick, none has come back to life. Then I use the large leaves from the rhubarb as weed suppressors, aided and abetted by some shade cloth placed around the rhubarb plants - also aids with water retention during summer. Elsewhere in the veggie plot, I use the hoe while the sprouts of things like cleavers and fumitory weeds are still small. Any thistles I have to dig.
I should add that most of my nuisance weeds are the result of growing a trial "crop" to try out for natural dye - no bargains there, most made wishy-washy yellows!
