That's part of the plan to renovate next season.

Hey there - new to the forum...

I want to try molasses to control my nutsedge - which has become the bane of my existence. I see that I should use 1 c. unsulphured per gallon of water and drench well - right? My question is whether rain or watering afterward will negatively affect the application. Right now, it's in the 90's here in Central VA, with no rain in the forecast. Should I turn off lawn irrigation for a few days after applying the molasses?

Hi Julie. I just spent the morning digging out my nutsedge. I had three plants and spent about an hour and a half digging down 8 inches and sifting every root or part of a root out of the soil before putting it back in. Normally my occasional nutsedge plant goes away but this is a spot where it continues to come back. Now with three plants, it's like an epidemic (to me, at least). I know three plants is nothing, but the idea is to catch it when it is just getting started.

I want to ask you a question. Would you characterize the areas where you have nutgrass as higher than the surrounding soil level or lower? Does water ever pool up in the area(s) where the nutsedge is?
