Patience is the key here........"full strength" here is the key for your labor.......Good luck as nutgrass is a very tough weed to defeat in both the lawn grasses as well as in the garden >>>>>>>>>>Talon

We use a lot of RoundUp in our commercial cranberry operation. It SHOULD NOT be used full strength. Dilution is necessary for the best results. If memory serves me 4:1 is the maximum that should be used. Using at the full strength kills only the top of the plant. It needs to be absorbed into the roots to really kill it. In my garden I just keep pulling it out, as I hate to use Roudup on my food.
