In very general terms, your usual options for non-chemical control of weeds
are:

1.  Hand-remove them.  
2.  Apply heat to kill them - boiling water, flame-thrower
3.  Bake them with a plastic sheet (solarizing)
4.  (My favorite) Cover the soil with a thick mulch.  Pull out the few that
grow through the mulch, or skim them off with a shovel blade laid flat.
