Water your lawn, preparing for the organic treatment. You don't need to saturate the lawn, just make sure the grass is wet and the soil is moist.
Sift the sugar on your lawn, walking in regular and straight lines, like you're mowing. Sugar nourishes microbes, benefiting the lawn grass and eating the nut grass at the same time. Turn the handle on the sifter, causing the sugar to fall on the grass evenly. Keep turning the handle the whole time you're walking.
Water the sugar down, then use the garden hose to spray the lawn again. Don't saturate it to the point that water runs off, otherwise, all the sugar you put in will be lost.
This procedure works best in the spring. Do it at least two or more times throughout the growing season. By the end of spring the nut grass will all be dead.
