For some reason my garden is full of Nut Grass. They seem to have a long root system which I can't pull out. How can I get rid of the grass? Is there any type of spray I can use?

You can go to Lowes or Home Depot and purchase a product call Image and it should do the trick. Just follow the instructions. Good Luck

Good luck on that! I've gardened over 40 years. and am still looking for an answer to this one! The best solution (and it's temporary) is to hoe around flowers and then put down several thicknesses of newspaper,wet thoroughly and cover with 3-4 inches of mulch. This will last about one growing season and even then you'll have a few "strays"pop up!Be sure to overlap the newspaper. This plant can grow through concrete so it's a true challenge. Cutting off it's sunlight is the ultimate answer?!
It's a clever plant, with the greenery growing in one place and the nut is attached about 3 to 6 inches horizontally, so it is never bugged when you pull up the grass leaves! I'm convinced one day this frustrating plant will be found to be the cure to some dread disease (or God's way of keeping we gardeners humble!)

An older product that works is called "Weed Hoe". This will kill nut grass in a lawn environment if applied correctly. Application rate is important but it can be useful in controlling nut grass in lawns. Remember though you aren't finished until the very last shoot is gone! Good luck.

Does anybody out there have a home remedy solution for nut grass? Thanks.

RE: Getting Rid Of Nut Grass

You'll no doubt get many responses, some involving poisons, but to start with, I understand nut grass tubers are edible, hence the "nutty" hint. Bon appetit! I've also been told that making the soil more fertile with grass clippings discourages the plants. (08/19/2008)

RE: Getting Rid Of Nut Grass

You can try putting newspapers down before putting grass clippings or mulch. Put the papers down really heavy. They decompose of course and you may have to replace them down the road. Otherwise there is something called Nutsedge that you can buy. (08/22/2008)
