Does any kind of edging keep it out and contained? Around campus they
seem to be able to keep bermuda and beds separated so it appears to be
possible. While there is a landscaping crew it is not terribly intensive
so this seems to be achieved with minimal human input.

I wanted to be sure I bought edging of sufficient depth/height to achieve
the same end.

I have no idea if they use herbicides to maintain it. However, if you buy
edging, it should be at least 6 inches deep into the soil, and above the soil
the same. Don't leave any chinks in it or the bermuda will definitely migrate
over. Constant weeding it out and loosening soil to get the whole root will be
endless, but it can be done if you keep on top of it. Mid summer when it's 140
in the sun is hopeless. I bought a cheap 9 foot umbrella at Sam's Club and I
hammered pvc pipe into the soil all around so when I weed I can have some shade
on me.
