We are over run with nut grass and other weeds in every one of our new mulch beds which are between 8" to 12" deep. The roots grow horizontally and extremely difficult to get all of them.
We've tried edging of varying heights, all kinds of chemicals, different mulches and rocks, weed-stop mesh material, and even completely removed the sod underneath on a new bed. Funny thing was a combination of the last two ended up with weeds & nut grass the fastest.
Attention professional landscapers and Agriculture majors: please, please, please let us know if a silver bullet exists to eliminate (or make our chore a lot more manageable) this problem. If we don't find a solution soon, we may just abandon the beds entirely and let the grass "win"!
