My monkey grass is invading my flower beds, how do I control it?

I dig, and I dig, and I dig...





Is there an easier way to keep it where I want it?My monkey grass is invading my flower beds, how do I control it?
they spread horizontaly through small rhizomes-you basically have to create an obstacle either with a trench or by surrounding them with rubber borders. if they're in a mixed planting with the flowers the only thing that might work is with a thick mulch where you don't want them to pop up.My monkey grass is invading my flower beds, how do I control it?
