OT Did I ever mention...

Oh, that's a good idea - perhaps I'll have to try that on our buttercup.

We are now going to be trying a tried and true method for dealing with
the nutgrass.
Find something useful to do with it.
Works every time. For example, dandelions and chicory are blessed
hard to find in our yard. We eat 'em, so of course they vanished.
We have thus far discovered that nutgrass is a relative of papyrus, so
we will play with paper making and basket weaving. We have also
discovered that the tubers are very edible, so we will save some out
and do some culinary experimentation. All it will take is for one
family member to decide they are very nummy, or one recipe to be
improved by the addition, and Poof! it will vanish.

I think it was Culpepper who said that a weed is a plant for which you
have not yet found a use.

It is a fast spreading rushlike weed that is the very devil to root
out.

Your method may work.
