Last year I had quite a bit of nutsedge in my yard (Kentucky Blue Grass and Tall Fescue yard).
I want to tackle the Nutsedge this year and my local supplier sells “Surge”:http://www.pbigordon.com/pdfs/Surge-SL.pdf
A couple of questions:1. I tried Surge in a small patch last year and it killed the grass too. Maybe the dilution that I prepared was a bit strong?
2. Anyone here uses Surge with good success against nutsedge?
3. If not, then I guess I have to go back to SedgeHammer (which is very expensive, it costs way more than Surge).

Sedge hammer is more expensive but it works – and will not kill your other grass. The surge is going to take multiple repeat treatments (many repeat treatments) where as sedgehammer usually only takes 2-3 treatments.
Sedge is just difficult to get rid of – period, end of story.
You can also try Image (careful, don’t get Image brand atrazine). Image works but takes 3-4 weeks to see results so many people “give up” on it.
But Sedgehammer is your best bet (unless you dig up the area and bring in new soil).
