I use the EGO battery operated edger to trench and keep the grass out and also use weed and grass killer for the rhizomes that are deep enough to avoid the edger's blade. Here is an example of our bed in front of the house. The Bermuda grass is just starting to grow here and will need its first mowing in a week or two but it is a grass you have to watch out for as it creeps into everything. The second photo is from July last summer and the round bed does have the heavy rubber edging (not perfectly round due to the heavy rubber material). It does not keep all the grass out since the grass can go between the connecting pieces and also under the four inch wide rubber edging. I hand pull and use a small hand hoe to work that grass out the best I can.
