 How do I get rid of Nutgrass from my lawn. I have enough of it where it will
take too long to pull by hand. I would like to seed this week so please keep
this in mind I live in NJ. Thanks

Cyperus esculentus L. is *not* a grass, it's a sedge (Abildgaardia Vahl) To kill it, use
Sedgehammer.

Some call it nutgrass.

I've been told to delay seeding for four weeks following sedgehammer, maybe
that's not chiseled in stone? I've never experimented with seeding right
after the application.

Me either. We apply it in the summer, but we don't seed in the summer. =)

There's nothing much available that doesn't suggest delaying seeding. (four
weeks for sedgehammer) If it's -all- nutsedge you could hit it with roundup
(non-selective) and seed right away.
