The Poppy Solution?

Helena, MT(Zone 4b)

Here's my partly baked idea: I've got a strip (100 feet or so) along a chain-link fence where I'm trying to suppress perennial weeds. Somebody mulched it in past years with 6" of shredded bark. So last year I removed a lot of bark and went through with the mini-tiller, waited for the weed flush and hit it with glyphosate. I'm swearing off poison, so now I'm planning to sow large quantities of Eschscholzia seeds there and hope they choke out the weeds. If they don't, well, the poppies are annuals, and I can till the strip again without losing a bunch of perennials. I'm in zone 4, Montana.
What do you think?
