The two beds, I have just outside the food forest got infested with Bermuda grass.
We have emptied them and have dug down to get as many of the roots as possible.
One of the tour guests told me, that they had used landscape fabric, and the grass spouted through it.
Does anyone know, if a layer of landscape fabric, will be a thick enough barrier? Is there anything else I can do, or a different material ?
It’s not a big problem in the forest garden, since the wildflowers outcompete it, but I can’t have it in my raised beds.
