Newly sodded yard at new house. Been about a month and I've been watering when it doesn't rain. fricker is now filled with nutsedge. Any thoughts on how to get rid of this?

Internet reading has cast a dim light. Apparently it is one tough weed.

Edited to fix accidental post before finishing.

What kind of sod? Here's my experience.

Nutsedge in new sod = Not an issue.

Nutsedge in your flower beds = Nuke the entire site from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.

Use image spray, but it takes about 3applications a few weeks apart

I did hear last week that nutsedge makes some little potatoe-like things under the ground that was a major food of prehistoric man...might be some good eating in your yard...

"Permit". It's very expensive but the best. I spray it in flower beds and it's so selective it won't harm flowers.

Takes about 10 days. You'll think it didn't work then you'll forget cause they'll disappear.

Grow it and harvest the seeds. Plant on an area that will flood this winter and shoot ducks.

I have a centipede lawn and have had nutsedge present at one time or another. Spray with Image following the manufacturers instructions. I have also used Image effectively to eliminate nutsedge in my Lariope border grass. Good luck!
