Raised bed edging

Hi All,

I have some raised beds for veg with scruffy grass between them. I get weeds growing up along the outside of the beds which inevitably spread to the insides of the beds. 

What I had thought of doing was putting a very narrow (non-raised) bed along the outside of each raised bed with some kind of heavy-duty weed-supressing planting. Would anybody have a suggestion for what I could use? 

Many thanks!
Owen.

    I have recently used Everedge which is great, not cheap but will probably outlast me.

    Not sure about 'another non raised bed' but if you want to suppress weeds, then bark chips make a good path and are easy.

    How wide are the paths? Would it make sense to strip the "scruffy grass" off completely and replace with bark chips as Zero suggests.
