I don't want that black stuff under the pine straw. Talk to me about edging. What kind? Can't the danged Zoysia burrow under it?
Still love to work in yard but losing heart.

We put in black plastic edging. That seems to help. We get some growth under the edging but much less of a problem than with no edging. I still do some hand pulling but if there are no "delicate" plants nearby, I carefully spray the zoysia with roundup.
