How can I stop Bermuda grass from invading my flower beds?
I love my flower beds and outside pond with stream and water fall, but am constantly battling Bermuda grass skittering in under the rocks and edging i put down to try to stop it from getting in the beds, if it gets into the weed cloth it really is hard to get out. How can I stop it from doing this?

Install a border. I used bricks as it coordinated with existing hardscaping.
Problem with Bermuda in addition to the runners you see the roots "travel" under ground 5-10 inched deep which makes controlling it at the surface difficult.
We live in Central Florida one of our lawn people told us the only way to get rid of Bermuda grass was to move.
It creeps in from neighbors yards under fence in backyard on all sides. Constantly fighting it. GRRR
I am entering my 24th year of battling this 'grass'. The bane of my existence. The only way I have found to keep it from invading is to shade it out. I bordered my beds with monkey grass and planted trees here there and yon, no bermuda in those places. I am in the process of replacing the 'lawn' with mondo grass and it is choking the bermuda out, as well. Very slow process, but it is working. If you want to use monkey grass along the borders, lay a thick layer of cardboard and plant through it. You'll have to combat the bermuda until the monkey grass gets thick enough, but then it's a done deal.
