Hi all,

Did not want to hijack the other cottage garden thread, but my problem is little different. Originally when I planned the garden I left a three feet space between beds to allow for the lawn mover. Well, lawn moving has become a huge problem and bermuda grass is creeping into the beds relentlessly. I want to convert my garden into a sort of cottage garden now with no grass between beds. How do I go about it? Carboard and a lot of mulch? Tons of mulch?

Here's some of the garden where you can see the grass around the beds:

Here, the grass has not been cut because squash is laying there:

Here is what I use around the beds, plastic hedging, dug in about two inches. That stops bermuda to a certain degree:

What kind of punishment am I facing in terms of money and work?
