Penn sedge control   Message List

Re: [IPAW] Penn sedge control

Might I ask why you are trying to control Pennsylvania Sedge?  It is a native species which is in high demand for restoration work and native landscaping.  Buying it from a nursery it will cost twice as much as other sedges and grasses since they cannot keep up with demand.

Curious,

Time has run out.  Knowing what we know, we must act, and we must act now.  To do otherwise would be an abdication of our responsibility to future generations.

If you have any ideas or thoughts about controlling Penn sedge let me know. I saw some studies with scarification of the soil and herbicide. No chemical name though. Any thoughts?
