Wet the soil well, pull it all up carefully by hand. The nuts from the nut grass are edible. :-) Harvest them... -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

nutgrass in new jasmine ivy bed
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. Cliff "cc" wrote in message oups.com...

I only have a small amount in my herb beds, (I just weed it) but I forwarded this to a friend that has a major invasion in his main garden bed. I await his reply... Personally, I'd love to get nut grass started as a lawn. There is nothing like xeriscaping for saving water costs! It has not cooperated. I feel your pain about the pre-diabetic metabolism. A low carb diet and Metformin works for me, so far anyway. I'm only 45. -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a bitch" -- Jack Nicholson |
