Yeah because I have a "Dixie Chopper" that goes 10 MPH! A real man mower! Arrrrrrugh.
I have had my raised beds in for over 10 years and no grasses have invaded any of my beds. Though I do mow way before seeds are allowed on the grasses. The sandstone perimeter rock gets quite warm and will naturally prevent the root runners from going into the space underneath them. The only reason I spray is to give a nice perimeter for the grass. (My Karen is a neat freak and after vacuuming the rocks, grass, and beds) the grass must also be "neat". I love her and she compliments my building of our garden with the messes I make.
