Bears are our bird feeder nemesis destroying the feeders to get at the seed so I bought a used 8 X 10 x 6 high dog kennel and put cyclone fencing over the top with some tubing struts for support and put the feeders inside. He has attacked it and bent it but has not gotten in... YET

What does this nut grass look like?

Bears? Yikes!

I’m picking! Trust me, you don’t want any nut grass! It’s invasive and almost impossible to get rid of. Each piece of grass has a “nut” for the root. Unless you get the whole nut, it just regrows. The nuts can be way down in the ground and they’re almost impossible to get out. The only thing I know for sure will kill it, short of a nuclear blast, is fencing the area and turning hogs onto it. They love the stuff. Short of that, sometimes shade will kill it, so you can plant pumpkins or sweet potatoes, something with lots of viny coverage to shade it out.
