And how do I kill it? Coming up all throughout my Bermuda.

Nutsedge? I've never used it, but people suggest SedgeHammer if it's nutsedge. Hard to tell from the pics.

Definitely nutshedge. It's a PITA. Lowe's or HD carries hose-end spray that will take it out.

It's green kyllinga, which is a species of sedge. Not sure where you are, but Randy Lemmon (Houston gardening guru) recommends using Sedgehammer because it can be used year round. I've had success with it.

Be careful, though. Not all products that address sedge can be applied year round and may damage your turf during warmer months. Here is some info from Lemmon:

I've had good luck using Image for nutsedge but it does take awhile. Spray it and forget it.

Sorry to piggyback but any guidance on this?

Does it have small white flowers that come out? If so it looks like virgina buttonweed. We have some small patches of the vb, and have killed the growth in the past with a selective herbicide, but am slowly finding any new growth and trying to pull the root out. Stubborn ****ers are covered in seed pods that drop and stay protected until the next year.

I pull Virgina button weed. It you get it early, you can keep it under control.

Theres a recent thread on here about killing sedge. Im working on mine now...

Gonna have to pull that buttonweed by hand.

Thanks all for the info. Haven't seen the white flower but comparing against other pictures that's most certainly it. Should I drop in squares of st. Augustine to fill in any big patches I pull up or just let the lawn takeover? Make a difference?

I'm in Austin.

No need to drop squares as the SA will cover over time as long as you fertilize and water properly.

Years ago, I had about 20,000 sf of backyard space by the creek dunning through the backyard that was full of weeds, etc that I sprigged with 6 tilled rows of SA clippings over 2 summers and it eventually covered the entire area over a 4 year period. I wasn't in a hurry to get it all sodded and didn't want to spend the money to sod it anyways. Looks great!!!

Thank you sir! Actually attempting to do something similar but on a much smaller scale - put up a new fence and reclaimed some property. Can see it starting to take hold but need to up my fertilizer game using the recs on this board.
