Lisa, when I lived in Louisiana, all we had was bermuda in the yard. The only 
method I found for keeping it out of my beds was to dig trenches all the way 
around each bed. Once it was gotten out by hand from the bed, it was easy to 
keep it from returning because the plant would creep down into the trenches 
and I could see it easier before it crossed over into the bed. i usually kept 
the trenches mulched and that would make pulling it easy. definitely not low 
maintenence, but it did work. i'd hate to have this problem in a large scale 
area.
