New Weeds

We are getting ready for Yellow Nutsedge to start showing it's face again. This is the light green weed that grows twice as fast as your grass does. Regular herbicides will not kill it.

There is a product called Sedgehammer that will kill it. I have only found it at Natorps. The nutsedge is very waxy so the sedgehammer needs to be mixed with a surfactant (also at Natorps) to help it stick to the weed.

You are past due. NO further application will be made.


LOL it is just a spot treat here and there.

Just an update. Natorps is not carrying this right now. I had to order it online.
