One cup of molasses in a gallon of water and drench around the nut sedge.
It will take a couple of weeks to die. It might be hard on your ivy as
well, I can't vouch for that but where there is only nut sedge it works
well.

Cleaned out, put in new top soil, planted 4" pots of ivy (180 total)
in new beds..have nutgrass growing through..have tried image in past
without much success...have also used Nutsledge with good success, but
it was very expensive..have also used OverTheTop grass killer without
much sucess..

Any suggestions... do no want to kill off the new ivy but must get
this under control..picking netsedge only prompts it to grow more
vigorously..

thanks for all suggestions..



Molasses for Nut Grass? Really? :-)

It must be a glycemic index thing. Humor and my pre-diabetic metabolism
aside, I'll try anything to say buh-bye to nutsedge (short of gamma
radiation of course).
