Nutsedge, if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find little tubers (bulbs) attached to the roots. When you pull it, the stem detatches from the roots so you don’t see that part.
Pulling can be an effective means of controlling it… IF you pull it repeatedly… Because it will regrow from the tubers. So it takes a few times of pulling it to deplete the energy stored in the tuber.
Pull it often enough that it’s not able to regrow to have 4 leaves… Once it gets its 4th leaf, it starts replenishing the energy back into the tubers.
