  • Asked by Mark from Pasadena, Ca
    07/19/2013
    Q
    Can I use SedgeHammer in paths around vegetable garden?
    I'm interested in why it is recommended to not use SedgeHammer in Veggie gardens. Might it kill adjacent plants (I'd be carefully deploying it in a path at least a foot from the drip line from some tomatoes)? Would it make nearby veggies unhealthy?
    A
    Certain products are not labeled for use around edibles as it could cause harm to the plant either through absorbing it into the food you are going to eat, or by killing the plant. Unless it has an agricultural label you can not use it around edibles or near the drip line. If you want more details on how using SedgeHammer to close to edibles can affect them, you can contact the manufacturer Gowan at (800) 883-1844. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Charlie from Milford, Delaware
    07/22/2013
    Q
    What is the difference between liquid and powder Sedgehammer?
    Will Sedgehammer work on crabgrass?
    A
    We are unaware of any version of Sedgehammer that comes in a liquid. Both the 13.5 gram packet, and the 1.33 ounce bottle are a dry formulation. The only difference is the 13.5 gram pack comes pre mixed with a dry surfactant and the 1.33 ounce bottle does not. Neither form will work on crabgrass as this product is specifically for treatment of sedges like yellow and purple nutsedge, hence its catchy name. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Jay from Houston, Tx
    07/31/2013
    Q
    Does Sedgehammer kill native prairie grasses?
    The grasses I want to protect include bluestems, Indian grass and Panicum species. Does Sedgehammer kill or inhibit them? Does it affect flowering plants like Liatrus (Kansas Gayflower)? Thank you.
    A

    Sedgehammer is labeled to kill nutsedge without injury to listed established turfgrasses. You should not apply over-the-top of desirable ornamentals, shrubs, and/or trees.  We are not sure how the product would effect prairie so we recommend calling the manufacturer who is the expert on their own product.  The manufacturer is Gowan Company and they can be reached at (928) 783-8844.

    08/08/2013
    Q
    I used Sedgehammer on nutgrass/nutsedge several days ago and it has yet to even begin to turn brown.
    Should I be concerned?
    A
    Most of our customers begin to see results in 5 to 7 days, as long as the product was applied correctly according to the label.  The product label does state that the product often works with one application, but depending on the size and age of the nutsedge a second treatment may be required 6 to 10 weeks after the initial treatment.

    Can I use SedgeHammer Herbicide on sod that is 2 months old?
    We purchased a new home with new sod, when is a good time to use this product? We also have a sprinkler system if that matters, so how much water can be used?

    Q
    Can I safely use Sedgehammer on sedge in the ice plant?
    Our rosea ice plant is infested with sedge. Will Sedgehammer kill our ice plant as well as the sedge? If "yes", is there a sedge-killing spray that will spare ice plant?
    A
    Sedgehammer is meant more for nutsedge control in turf grass.  For nutsedge in landscaped areas it is recommended to spot treat the sedge with a glyphosate or Round Up type product directly.  We recommend Roundup QuickPro 1.5 oz. packs for ease of use.
