Nutsedge in your garlic beds?

I had an infestation of nutsedge in my garlic beds last year, and it was difficult to restrain from pulling it, knowing that only seems to make it grow thicker.

We've always used "Manage", now sold as "Sedge-hammer", to control nutsedge and have had good results without damaging neighboring plants. Because of this I unknowingly sprayed the nutsedge with Sedge-hammer and forgot about it.

As harvest time neared it was obvious that something was going terribly wrong with my garlic... it was yellowing up and a lot of the bulbs were dying. I'm convinced that it was my fault form spraying the nutsedge in the garlic.

If you have this problem NOW is the problem to correct it, before you plant your garlic. I'm lucky to have seed garlic from last year to replant.
