My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Nutgrass can drive you NUTS!

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

I have a spot in my rose bed that regenerates the dreaded nutgrass (Cyprus rotundus), aka. nutsedge, again and again. Hand pulling is what I have been doing along with a pretty heavy mulch of pine bark, but just leave a little piece, and back it pops up. If I wait to weed too late, I hear snapping which tells me the little 'nuts,' have detached in the ground, and all I am doing is multiplying it.

I have heard that sugar applied early in the growing season will act as a herbicide. I have nothing to lose, so next year, Lord willing, sugar fed nut grass will be on its menu. Hope that does the trick.
