4 pounds of sugar per 1,000 square feet of lawn Garden hose Sifter
Instructions 1
Water your lawn. This will prepare it for your organic sugar treatment. Do not saturate the lawn, but be sure that the soil is moist and that the grass is wet.
2 Sift the sugar onto your lawn. Walk in regular, straight lines just as if you were mowing. Turn the handle on the sifter so that the sugar falls onto the grass evenly. Continue turning the handle the entire time that you are walking. The sugar will nourish microbes that benefit your lawn grass and eat the nutsedge or nut grass. 3 Water down the sugar. Spray your lawn again with the garden hose. Do not saturate it to the point that water is running off or you will lose all of the sugar that you just deposited on the lawn.

Do this in the spring when you would first seed and feed your grass as well as one or two more times throughout the growing season. By the end of the season, the nut grass should all be dead and I will have the sweetest patch in town.....

Better living through chemistry. I use sedgehammer. It's a sulfonyl urea that works great and doesn't touch my grass.
