pavers after spraying herbicide for nutsedge
Comments (3)If you're expecting Image to get rid of the nutsedge, I hope you have better luck than I've had. I've not been able to get it to do more than top kill. The nutgrass always returns. Since you're putting in pavers, you might consider one of those brush-killer herbicides that prevent the regrowth of anything. Good luck. Trying to get rid of nutgrass seems to be trip through uncharted territory....See MoreIs this nutsedge or something else?
Comments (14)Check out Halysulfuron as well. Brand name "Sedgehammer+" Its a dry mix comes in a pack that makes 1 gallon which covers 1000ft. I would also pick up some bue marking dye so you'll to see what you've sprayed and what you've missed. Use between mowings to avoid stressed out sedge. So spray at least 2 days after a cut and at lease 2 days before the next cut. Its a slow kill (about 2 weeks) but it kills the nut as well. Good luck Oh and spray ASAP to avoid the grasses hardening off for fall. The uptake of the herbicide is reduced when this happens....See MoreNutsedge or crabgrass?

Comments (9)Pulling tends to leave the 'nut' (actually a tuberous root) in place. And new plants will just generate from that root. But if you carefully dig up the entire plant, root nut and all, and before it is allowed to flower and seed you can pull/remove by hand and have pretty decent control. FWIW, this s a much easier practice to follow in a planting bed.....not so much in the lawn. And is rather time consuming!!...See MoreJay 6a Chicago
