What's this grassy weed in my lawn? (Photo link)
 

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

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

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.

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

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

Thanx again,

I've read that a product called "manage" is good for nutsedge.

Sure looks like nutsedge. Manage is probably most effective to
eliminate it, Basagran also works, but may take a couple applications.
Nutsedge only grows when it's hot and there is a lot of water
present. Are you overwatering?

So THAT'S what is causing it (I have an abundance of nutsedge, also).
Mother Nature has given us a lot of rain this year.

I guess I should pray for a drought!!!
