--- I thought that you would be interested in this method of nutsedge control. L Howard Garrett, a long-time organic advocate in Texas recently wrote: "There is only one guaranteed, foolproof method to completely kill nut grass (also known as purple nutsedge). First, dig out every tiny piece of the plant including the seeds and nutlets. Make sure you sift the soil through a mesh screen. Dump the collected material on the driveway and burn it. Sweep up all the ashes and seal in a concrete box. Drive to the coast and dump the sealed box 20 miles off shore." --
