i finished my shrub and tree garden and it looks really nice except for grass popping up along the back.i ripped out all the grass,took a steel rake to it.then i layed down weed barrier fabric and lined the back along the fence with 6ft cedar posts.then lined the front with plastic edging and then added all my bags of mulch.the fence in the back is chain link.the grass is popping up along that back,probaly from the neighbors yard.the grass looks like spikes sticking out of my mulch,when i pull it out it has these super long roots which i am sure i am not getting out all the way.growing right through my weed barrier.i am tempted to get out the round up but that wont solve the problem,and i dont even know if that would kill it.how can i stop this grass.i do plan on adding more mulch this fall.
