I'm not sure landscape fabric would work. The nutsedge has pretty tough leaf
tissue. But, it might depend on the weight of the fabric. I've not tried it.
It would probably be worth an attempt.

Thanks Nan, Bill, Dorene, for your ideas. Bill, I definitely won't bother
trying the black plastic. What about landscape fabric? Do you think
that would prevent the nut sedge breaking through? (I fear it won't!).
Sorghum Sudan won't over-winter here, Nan. Sounds like maybe I
could leave the dead canes standing though, and disk in the spring -
is that what you're suggesting? The areas I'm most concerned about
are a bit small for tractor work. I wonder if I cut the S-S down at 4'
and let it regrow, maybe I could manage with a machete (and
several helpers!). About ducks, Dorene, someone else here is trying
ducks this summer, for the same problem, in a section of herb
garden. I'll follow progress there carefully. Maybe her ducks would
like an extra year of life on a different patch!
