annual ryegrass in permanent notill raised beds - how long will it survive if
left untended and unchecked?

how many iterations of 1) germinate and sprout --> 2) mature and set seed
---> 3) drop viable seed for a new generation

how many years can this go on?

I assume that bird/windborne/waterborne seeds of other plants will eventually
become established and dominate the beds,
eliminating the ryegrass
