Subject: [permaculture] Favorite Way to Edge Deep-Mulch Beds

What is your preferred way of weeding the edge of deep-mulch beds so
that creeping weeds, like grasses, stay out? Particulary during the
beginning phase of a bed when the border plants are juvenile and don't
fend for themselves quite as well.
I usually create beds with cardboard, soil, organic matter, etc. and
give it a deep mulch. To give my border plants time to mature, I have
been just using a good ol' hoe to keep grasses away, but it's fairly
time intensive. Any ideas on alternative methods would be appreciated.
Thanks,
