[Arid_gardener] nutsedge

[Linda Drew]

from the Master Gardener Manual:

"Other weeds include the sedges. Purple nutsedge is prevalent at 
mid-to-lower elevations, while yellow nutsedge is prevalent at higher 
elevations. Nutsedge is not a grass, although it is falsely called nutgrass 
by most people. Selective herbicides are now available for its suppression."

Chexck with your local nursery for a product specific for the
control of nutsedge.
