My veg patch is in my field at the back - is there a way of preventing the

You can use wooden edges, which I do. They look nice. If you have a
very long edge to do, since it's a field you've mentioned, what about
just a trench to one spit depth about 2" wide. We do this on our
allotments - saves money - and you can see the grass trying to come
through sometimes, and just pick it out.
