If you have SedgeHammer Herbicide in the packets, you do not need to measure anything as the packets are pre-measured. If you have SedgeHammer in the 1.33 oz. bottle and have lost the spoon, we can contact the manufacturer to see if we can have a new spoon sent to you. Without the spoon you likely would need a scale that can measure in grams. If you would like us to try and send you the spoon just email us back with your address, or you can contact the manufacturer directly at 800-883-1844.
