I live in North East TX, and this rascal drives us all "nuts". Maybe that is why it is called nut grass? I have farmer friends that won't even help till up an area for someone until they check to see if nut grass is present as all it takes is getting it on one blade of a disc and then you spread it like wild fire to any area the disc touches after that. It is my understanding that each time you pull up this plant, you are planting a little nut like growth at the root end of the plant. Thus never getting rid of it.

Anyone know about this noxious weed and how to fight it without chemicals?
