Annual grassy weeds. Help!

I have a meadow in my front yard with CA native grasses, mostly tufted hairgrass but also purple needlegrass and some CA fescue. I have wildflowers that reseed each year and I collect seed from them as well.

I have had continual problems with Poa annua -- that pale green grass that goes to seed instantaneously and grows very low to the ground.

Next year I'm thinking about putting down corn gluten and just bailing on the wildflowers. They are so beautiful though! The bunch grasses have grown in well enough that even though I can raise many of the wildflowers from seeds (or from Annie's Annuals), it's really hard to plant them as large plants.

If I transplant seedlings that are pretty small, that might work. Would the CGM hurt them once they have a set of true leaves?
