controling weeds

I built a couple of raised beds so I can grow vegetables. I put news paper down under the raised beds. I also put maluch down around the beds. I don,t guess I put that much because the weeds are growing up under close to the edge of the bed. anyway I need something that well kill the weed off but not harm the soil in my bed by seaping under the bed. is there a organic spray that I can use to do the job or what would I use.

no there is not such spray. When you put the paper down it needed to be 10 layers thick or more and you should have extended it at least 2 feet around a free standing raised bed. If you are dealing with wide leaf grasses the only way to control them is to pull them getting the roots when the ground is wet and that takes time.
