Clarence - For a small price of $93.00, you can own a bag of VANTAGE -
(Powder form) that will take care of nut-sage. You have to pull it
once, put this down and water. Gene Patterson had his entire bed
covered 6 weeks before the 94 Roanoke Meeting. At the meeting, there
was none. It is expensive, but it works esp. around plants. I have a
little in the front yard, and use Ortho Crab-grass Killer II. Does a
grest job.
