If you are just going to leave it for a while, you could maybe cover it instead of spraying. Old cardboard weighted down, weed suppresant membrane or black plasitc sheeting does the trick.

Just cut down the biggest stuff first, and don't poke holes in the covering  ;)

Strim it first, leave for 2 weeks so weeds can start growing then spray and leave for 3/4 weeks.
As its your second plot, I'd then dig it over, leave for 2 more weeks the spray again.
