Q.From grass to garden bed

Zone Barbados, Caribbean | Anonymous added on August 14, 2020 | Answered

I have grass that runs. It took a lot of work to get a garden bed going and its a lot of work keeping this running grass out of the bed. What’s the best way to remove and maintain clean garden beds without chemicals?

Without knowing what type of grass is invading your flower beds, it's tough to know what will work, however, one way to deter the grass is to dig a trench around the bed and use horticultural vinegar or some other form of grass killer. Perhaps the most effective course would be to dig a trench and pour a concrete barrier between your lawn and garden beds.
