How to get grass out of a flower bed.?

We moved in last year, but we put our yard in after I created a flower bed, so the grass seed blew into the flower bed, and now it's more like a grass bed with a few flowers in it. How do I get the grass out? I don't mind if I have to kill the underlying flowers becasue I can plant more, but I just want the grass to go away. Any suggestions, products, anything?!?

You can buy stuff to kill grass! However! Your new flower bed will be in danger and it will kill the flowers so ------hoe,pull,gripe,and probably work all day but better for the flower bed!
Reply:All i can tell you is to just pull the grass that's growing in the flower bed (Try getting the roots out). And pull the grass every week.
Reply:use about 3 inches of mulch,wood chips ,bark,pine needles.this should knock down the weeds.if the grass comes up through this they will be easer to pull,and will be good for the soil.
Reply:One word, Electric boogaloo
Reply:I would suggest the old fashion method of just pulling them up--if you use herbicides, you risk it affecting the newly planted flowers,
Reply:you can get grass killer for flower beds at wal-mart... and it realy works. i use it all the time
Reply:Get a rototiller. Use repeatedly over the affected area. Plant more flowers.
Reply:round up weed killer in spray form just mind your flowers. it may look like it hasnt worked it takes upto 3 weeks to kill the weeds but it does get right down to the roots.
Reply:Dig it out.
Reply:Use a hoe and pull them out with your hand. That way you get all the roots. You could also till the ground but that can get expensive. Next time lay some of that black fabric material they sell at the home stores.
