Will ground cover take over grass?
If you've got spaces between raised beds and you just don't want grass there, plant a ground cover instead. You won't have to fight with weeds or irritating grasses, and they're easier to maintain. Ground cover plants can really look lovely surrounding stepping stones or pathways.
