Help on this trouble grass

Nutsedge...it can grow through the hard plastic kiddie pools if left in place for the Summer. "Manage" probably would get it after a couple of applications but it might be pricey for using it in a small area as a patio.

Seeds are falling into the cracks, then growing from there. There are seeds dropping into the cracks and growing from there (Do you have nearby bird feeder?) RoundUp can take a week to work after treatment. If you want more-immediate results, you can use a propane torch. Then apply a pre-emergent product (such as Preen) and sweep it into the cracks--it should be safe to the bricks and the application will last many weeks.

Haven't really tackled my own brick patio (which has more weeds than yours) yet. But a few techniques (in addition to those which were posted) are:

• boiling water

• cover with a tarp or other opaque object long enough to kill them from lack of light

I'd love to figure out a way to outcompete the weeds with moss or something attractive (most of my cracks are bigger than the ones at

What is interesting is that I actually put some landscape fabric on before we laid the bricks. It sounds like the grass pokes thru the fabric !

Thanks in advance

Roundup worked for me for about 2 months. Used 2 applications as the Bermuda grass was being stubborn. Followed directions, including sunny warm day criteria. Location: gravel driveway. 4" sub-base, and compressed. Local weeds are beginning its takeover, Bermuda grass is still brown.

Pretty much everywhere: Kmart, Walmart, TSC, Lowes, Home Depot, plant nurseries, etc. Where are YOU?

Just noticed this message; goes back a way; you may have solved your problem.

In case not, I suggest pouring boiling water on the weeds. They'll turn yellow and die with a few days, and -- in my experience -- will not come back.

Be carefully handling the H2O.
