weeds weeds weeds, I have some nasties!

I am a big believer in keeping my flower beds under control with a hula/saddle hoe, and preen. Works well mostly everywhere. However, I have a full sun bed that is off on its own and it is out of control and I am at a loss.

I know for sure it is infested with:

Jimson weed
purslane
ragweed
quackgrass
and more!

Last year, I solarized the whole thing and it looked like I might be winning but winter came and went and now everything has grown back with a vengeance. Roundup works and then doesn't, these weeds are relentless.

I really want to make this bed a butterfly garden for my kids. What can I do here, other than drop a bomb? I am not usually a big chemical person but at this point if you told me to pour straight gasoline and light a match, I'd consider it.
