A gardener in SW Florida needs an effective method to control nutsedge in bare soil after solarization and tilling, without resorting to organic vegetable gardening due to rabbit infestation.

Existing post-emergent herbicides only target visible shoots, not the underground tubers, so nutsedge keeps resprouting; pre-emergent solutions like mulch/cardboard are not yet in place.
