Keeping running grasses and perennial weeds from encroaching into your garden or landscape can be an endless struggle. Watch this video to get a glimpse of one method I've devised over the years that seems to challenge even the most determined rhizomes and runners. Although not perfect, this method has become invaluable to me during the first 3 to 5 year establishment phase of perennial food forests and other edible gardens.

Have other farmers or gardeners done similar techniques? What materials or plant barriers have you used? I'd like to hear from you! Post your comments below.
