    Q
    Using SedgeHammer on feed plots
    I have several feed plots we use for deer and turkey. Yellow nutsedge has taken over all. I'm planning on spraying several acres using the 1.33 oz. bottle with 40 gallons of water. How many acres will this cover and will it hurt deer to graze the rye, oats and wheat we plant in the fall? Thanks, Jim

  • Asked by Renee from Dover
    07/22/2015
    Q
    Can Sedgehammer be used when other weed applications are being put on the lawn, or will it harm the lawn?
    Our lawn is being sprayed 4 times a year by a professional lawn company, but they do not spray for nutgrass.
    A

    You should be fine to spot treat the nutsedge using Sedgehammer as long as the lawn is not over-stressed by heat or drought or from the other herbicide being applied. Be sure to apply according to the product label.

    Q
    Can I use a Spray Hose End Sprayer to treat my lawn with SedgeHammer Herbicide?
    Can I use a Spray Hose End Sprayer, like the kind that mixes with water as it distributes the chemical? Ortho makes a very popular one I've used in the past with great success.
    A

    SedgeHammer Herbicide can be applied with a hose end sprayer. Please be aware the application through a hose-end sprayer may not be as accurate as using a hand pump sprayer.

    Q
    I need to kill nutsedge in my hay field - can I use Sedgehammer? If not, what product can I safely use?
    I have a six acre mixed grass hay field used for making horse hay that was flooded for six weeks and now has a good amount of yellow nutsedge.
    A

    Sedgehammer Herbicide is not labeled to be used in pastures.  The only product we currently carry for yellow nutsedge that is labeled for us in pastures is AXXE Broad Spectrum Herbicide.  Please refer to the product label for complete instructions.

  • Asked by Kevin from Montville, Oh
    08/29/2015
    Q
    Can I spray SedgeHammer Herbicide on my hayfield with timothy planted in it, and will it effect the hay feeding?
    Also how much does the largest bottle make when mixed?
    A

    SedgeHammer Herbicide should not be used on pastures or grazing areas, and you should not treat around hay that will be used for animal feed. The SedgeHammer should not affect Timothy grass that may be contacted by the herbicide, although the product label does not specify information about this plant, so we would recommend spot treating a small area first before applying over a large area with this plant. The 1.33 oz bottle of SedgeHammer will yield about 40 gallons of finished solution. You should add 2 teaspoons of a non-ionic surfactant per gallon of water when diluting SedgeHammer from the larger bottle. The smaller packets already have a surfactant mixed in with the product.

    A

    Sedgehammer should not be applied to any areas where there are desired ornamentals, flowers, shrubs etc. It should only be applied to turfgrass for nutsedge control.

    Q
    Can I use dish soap as a surfactant with Sedghammer?
    A

    We have heard some folks use dish soap as a surfactant. We cannot recommend it, because there is not enough research behind it. We recommend a product like Non Ionic Surfactant to be mixed with Sedgehammer.

    Q
    Wandering Jew and Sedge control in southern Floratam lawn?
    Can you recommend a product that will safely kill wandering jew in Floratam? I also have some sedge and have been told that Sedgehammer is safe in Floratam. Will it have any effect on the wandering jew?
    A

    Sedgehammer can be used in St Augustine grass per the product label but is not labeled for wandering jew and we do not have a product that is labeled for this weed.  It might be best to spot treat this weed with a glyphosate based product and reseed the areas.

  • Asked by Cdw from Alabama
    10/03/2015
    Q
    What time of year is sedgehammer most effective?
    Can it be used in the fall or the start of winter? How long do I have to wait before I can Plat a garden after applying sedge hammer?
    A

    Sedgehammer will only control weeds that are actively growing so it likely will not kill anyting in the winter once the plants are dormant and may only give partial control in the fall. It is best used in the warmer spring and summer months and early fall. Per the manufacturer, if you plan to plant a vegetable garden you cannot do so within 3 years of applying Sedgehammer in the same area unless you remove the soil treated with Sedgehammer and bring in fresh soil.

  • Asked by Art from Lake Mary, Fl
    12/27/2015
    Q
    What type of Non-Ionic Surfactant can be used with SedgeHammer Herbicide?
    A

    The SedgeHammer 13.5 gram box already contains a surfactant so no additional surfactant would be needed. If you are using the 1.33 oz bottle of SedgeHammer, we would recommend using Non-Ionice Surfactant for Herbicides. If using the 1.33 oz. bottle, use 0.9 g (one spoonful) in 1-2 gallons of water with 2 teaspoons of a nonionic surfactant.

  • Asked by Rex from San Antonio, Texas
    03/04/2016
    Q
    How long after applying SedgeHammer Herbicide can I plant seeds in my vegetable garden?
    I'm planning to plant a vegetable garden where there is currently nutgrass in the soil. If I apply SedgeHammer, how long would I have to wait to plant?
    A

    SedgeHammer may not be the best option for you.  It is meant more for nutsedge control in turf grass and it cannot be used in or around a vegetable garden or anything edible. It remains in the soil for up to 3 years so the manufacturer recommends that you not plant anything edible in an area where SedgeHammer has been applied for at least 3 years.  For nutsedge control in or around a vegetable garden it is recommended to spot treat the sedge with a glyphosate or RoundUp type product directly.  With this type of product it is only necessary to wait 2-3 weeks after application to plant vegetables or anything else.  We would recommend Roundup QuickPro 1.5 oz. packs for ease of use.

    Also, you should not just pull the plants. This will just split off the rhizome and more new plants will grow from the nutlets left in the soil. To completely remove the plants, you would need to completely dig out the nutlets so that new plants do not grow from them. Many folks will still till the soil after using RoundUp to be sure there are no remaining nutlets that will grow new plants.

  • Asked by Jose from Miami, Fl
    03/14/2016
    Q
    What can I use to control and kill Nutsedge and creeping signal grass on St Augustine grass?
    Miami Fl area
    A

    For nutsedge control it is best treated using something like Sedgehammer Herbicide which is specifically designed for it and is also for some other broadleaf weeds.  For signal grass is it best treated with a pre-emergent like Prodiamine 65 WDG but complete control is not always possible with this weed as it is a very difficult weed to control.  You could also spot treat with a glyphosate based product like GlyPhoSel Pro and then reseed/so the area.  The University of Florida has some information here about.
