I put some fairly extensive beds into my yard. As the budget
allows I'm filling with plant material. At some point I'd like to
put in permanent metal edging, but can't swing it right now. In
the meantime, what's the best way to maintain that edge? I see
some lawns with a nice, clean, deep natural edges on the beds that
seem to somehow prevent the grass from coming in. How is that
done? Special tools or just a weed eater? Constant care? Any help
appreciated.

With a power edger. Blades rotate in a vertical plane.
