It will keep growing. It's grass and stallons they take a sideways easy path out of the turf. Try a Mantis Tiller with a edger attachment. They are great anyway on the borders and veg patch. Electric ones are light if you cant lift.

We have quite a large area of lawn, it surrounds our whole house in a wavy shape.

Does anyone know if there is anything I can apply to the edge to stop this happening?

The previous owner used to paint petrol onto the face which kept the grass at bay but at current petrol costs there's no chance! My husband occasionally goes out with the weed burner and burns it but this takes ages and doesn't last long!!

Any advice greatly received!!
