We have some raised beds which border on to a lawn. The raised beds are
watered each night through an automatic irrigation system.

The grass at the side of the beds has become very, very wet - and really never
dries out: it is particularly noticeable in the morning after the night
watering session. The raised beds drain very, very well.

Could you not attack the problem at source by reducing the amount of
water dispensed into the beds?


Perhaps she's growing wasabi, watercress and water spinach :-)
