Why Is Sugar Not Killing Off The Nut Grass In My Lawn?

Question

I have been applying sugar to my buffalo lawn as described in the article and I’m very disappointed that it has had no negative effect on the nut grass, in fact I suspect it is actually making it flourish. Do you have any advice that could help?

Nutsedge requires special attention. It is a very aggressive plant that can get out of control if not treated properly.
