Nutsedge in new sod...any hope?

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.

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...

As the grass gets established and starts to thrive, it will generally crowd out the nutsedge.

Anywhere the grass is weak or dies back, or in cracks between pieces of sod, the damn sedge will pop up.

It also like areas that stay wet, so when you back off on the watering after your grass gets going, that may help too.

Well its been about a month and I've backed off the watering. But it rains even damn afternoon.

The grass is growing well but so is the nutsedge. My hope was that it would crowd out the nutsedge but so far no luck. Guess I just need to be more patient.

"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.

So should I selective spray the plants themselves or just coat the whole yard?

Yep

ETA: I don't have a fricking clue

Is there no limit to you adding to your post count?

Wet the weed (nutsedge), whatever that entails.

We usually get someone to go in with us when we buy it. It's costly but goes a LONG way. A local co-op also would break open a pack and sell individual packets to help the smaller guy.

I grew nutsedge in my garden on purpose.

They taste like almonds but are hard to clean.

If I were you, I'd kill the grass and keep the nutsedge.

They are a favored food for wildlife.
