Plants around raised beds...

Hi Everyone,

We have an awful time getting the grass to go away between our beds. We have
 about 2 1/2
feet between beds, and we have grass (looks like rye, to me) that comes up
 around the
wood. Sometimes it creeps under into the bed.

We don't want to use any chemicals, and have been hand weeding the grass for 4
 years now
<sigh>. We have a fairly extensive garden, so this is really becoming a major
 PIA.
We tried simply laying the bark mulch down, but, this technique sounds as of if
 it has
great possibilities for us.

Thanks, Rich! :)
