Over the past two or three years some patches of fast growing "grassy
weeds" have shown up here and there on my lawns. After mowing, this
stuff seems to grow two or three times as fast as the turf grasses, and
sticks up noticable in a couple of days.

I'm hoping there's a selective herbicide to let me rid my lawns of this
stuff, which seems to be popping up in more places each year.

Thanks guys,

Jeff


It's nutsedge, I didn't catch where you live.


I meant to mention that, and forgot. I't Red Sox country (A Boston
suburb.)

Thanks, I checked out butsedge and that's sure a match.

Dood, be careful with 'butsedge' it's a back biter! ;p

Dern wide fingers of mine! (Or maybe the "b" key is too close to the "n")


There are control products for it but they can damage your
turf if you mis-use them.

It will die back on its own real soon in bean town.

I think that's a wise suggestion, only it keeps getting worse each year.

Thanx again,

Jeff
