If you want to cut back on weeds quit breaking it up. Till it, form your beds where you want to plant right now, and cover the area up with a plastic tarp until spring. Once spring comes dust some fertilizer on top and LIGHTLY till the top couple inches of soil. That's going to be hard to do without the right equipment (a bcs tractor and a power harrow), but it will cut down on your weed pressure immensely.

You can continue to keep your pre-formed beds covered with plastic until just before you are ready to plant. Right now cool weather weeds like rye grass, clovers, and henbit will sprout and die under the tarp. When it gets warmer all of the summer weeds will do the same thing. It gives you a leg up on the weed pressure and is skirting the edge of being "no till". It's really "low till", but it helps a lot.
