Preventing grass encroachment on vegetable bed
My veg patch is in my field at the back - is there a way of preventing the
grass encroaching on the soil? Such as laying gravel boards on their edge along the grass/soil boundary? |

You can use wooden edges, which I do. They look nice. If you have a very long edge to do, since it's a field you've mentioned, what about just a trench to one spit depth about 2" wide. We do this on our allotments - saves money - and you can see the grass trying to come through sometimes, and just pick it out. |

I did a similar thing a while ago using a steel edging product i found on the internet. www.everedge.co.uk It sounds like this would be pretty good for what you need to do (and it doesn't look too shabby either!) |
