Sorry to hear that Ethan. Nutsedge is one of the hardest weeds to get rid of. I had a veggie garden in San Diego with it, and eventually decided to just give up and abandoned it due to nutsedge.

I put down layers of cardboard over the soil to suppress the nut sedge in the veg garden, w/out it nothing can compete.

I remember putting 6 mil plastic over the nutsedge area to try to kill it out. Darned stuff poked right through that thick plastic. Then i tried to get the nuts out by screening all the soil. That didn't work either.  That's when i threw in the towel on that garden plot.

Not just nuts but seeds too, after nuclear war, only nut sedge and roaches will survive!
