Nutgrass

Last year I had a couple of postings about our attempts to find the best way to get nut grass under control.

Basically, I have bad news. Although last fall it looked like the new nut grass controls were working, this spring we found out differently. The nut grass came back with a vengeance.

My hand pulling did seem to work. I am getting just a small amount of regrowth in my own nut grass at home.

We are back to recommending hand pulling, hula hoeing or using Monterey Weed Hoe. The key issue is consistence and not allowing it to reestablish itself. If you allow it to grow back you have to start over again. As near as I can tell it takes a couple of years to finally get it out.

We are continuing to try different methods of the new nut grass controls to see if we can find a better solution.
