    Q
    Will SedgeHammer affect existing/new milkweed?
    I have a pollinator garden with flowers and milkweed that nutsedge has invested. If I'm careful to get the sledgehammer just on the nutsedge foliage, will it affect the current milkweed? Will it prevent milkweed from sprouting next year?

  • Asked by Terri-ann from Brisbane, Qld, Australia
    11/14/2021
    Q
    I've used SedgeHammer Plus Herbicide & Glyphosate to treat nutsedge in bare dirt areas as well as digging the nutsedge up several times over the last 12 months with little results.
    Applied exactly as directed per the product label and the nutsedge continues to grow.
    A

    Depending on how established the nutsedge is, it can take multiple applications to kill the actual nutlets, even when using an effective product like SedgeHammer + Herbicide.  Ideally, the nutsege that will emerge in the upcoming growing season will be easier to control, because of the treatments you have applied in the last 12 months.  Sometimes, it can take multiple growing seasons to eradicate a well established series of weeds from an area, even using the most effective of product.

    Please view our Nutsedge Treatmet Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Jane from Clarksdale, Ms
    06/30/2022
    Q
    Can you use a weed wiper instead of a sprayer with SedgeHammer?
    I have a sponge weed wiper and would like to wipe colonies of nutsedge instead of spraying them to avoid damage to the cedar tree the colonies are flourishing under. Will wiping work as well as spraying?
    A
    While the Sedgehammer + Herbicide is designed to be mixed with water and sprayed on the nutsedge to get complete coverage of the plant, if the wipe on method is the only option due to the sensitivity of the surrounding vegetation, you can use that method. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that you would want to try to get as much coverage with the sponge on the leaf surfaces as you can, and any mixed solution you have left over would need to be disposed of as mixtures are only good for about 24-48 hours before they start to break down in the tank.

  • Asked by Keith from Knoxville Tn
    08/01/2022
    Q
    Can other herbicides be applied within days of the Sedgehammer application? Specifically Quin Way 75D
    I'm trying to treat multiple types of weeds throughout my lawn, but I'm unsure of the best way to figure out a treatment program that will not harm the fescue grass. Thank you in advance for any information that can provide.
    A
    We do not recommend mixing SedgeHammer + Herbicide with a quinclorac product at the same time since a quinclorac product usually requires the use of a methylated seed oil surfactant. If you are needing to apply both products, then you may want to wait about a week between applications so that you are not putting too much stress on your fescue, especially in the summer when it's hot. Keep in mind that you should not mow within 2 days of either herbicide application.

  • Asked by Brenda from Ca
    09/10/2022
    Q
    My Kentucky Bluegrass lawn is dead in areas after applying SedgeHammer Plus Herbicide, did I apply too much?
    A

    SedgeHammer Plus Herbicide should not injure turfgrasses as long as the lawn is established and sufficient water volume of atleast 1 gallon of water was used to apply 13.5g evenly over a 1000 sq ft area. Applications should be avoided during the heat of the day (65-85 degrees) and recommended to be done in the early morning or late afternoon/evening when temps are at their coolest. 

    If the turfgrass is under stress from heat, drought, diseases, insects, etc – these are all factors that can cause herbicides to injure turfgrasses. 

    Please view the full product label for more information.

    Q
    Is Sedgehammer safe to use in a butterfly-friendly garden? Will it harm visiting butterflies?
    A
    Since SedgeHammer Plus Herbicide does not have any insecticidial properties, it should not harm insects such as butterflies. However we would recommend spraying when they are not actively there. Also keep in mind that this product is not safe for ornamentals, only grasses

    Q
    I just ordered a bottle of Sedgehammer and Dyneamic surfactant. I have a bad growth of nut grass.
    How many times should I treat before doing a complete re-sod? How long should I wait before re-sodding.
    A
    Although we now carry herbicides, our expertise is mainly in pest control.  We began carrying herbicides due to popular request but we are not giving specific treatment advice.  We would advise you to call the manufacturer of Sedgehammer for specific treatment advice.  The manufacturer is Gowan and they can be reached at (928) 783-8844.

  • Asked by Pike from Sulphur, La

    Q
    Can I safely apply Sedgehammer in orchard of apples, peaches, blueberries?
    A

    SedgeHammer Herbicide is meant more for nutsedge control in turf grass and it cannot be used near a vegetable garden or anything edible. 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.

  • Asked by Debbie from Baton Rouge, La
    04/24/2018
    Q
    I've had a fig tree for over 20 years. Last year it produced 65 lbs of figs that we picked. It now appears to be dead. Could the SedgeHammer have killed it?
    A

    SedgeHammer Herbicide would not have harmed the fig tree if used as directed.  While it is not labeled to be applied around edibles and applications should be kept outside of the dripline of edible trees, unless you sprayed the tree directly it should not have been affected.  There are many possible factors which could be affecting the tree.  We would recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for advice on what may be causing this appearance and how to best treat it.

    Q
    Can I use SedgeHammer around Natal Plum that has crab grass growing in it? How about flowering plants, sweetpea, etc?
    A

    We do not recommend Sedgehammer for crabgrass control as it is only labeled for eradication of yellow and purple nutsedge and kyllinga. You can spot treat carefully with a non-selective post emergent control around Natal Plum and Sweet Pea etc. Sedgehammer is for lawn applications as directed.

    Q
    What is the withholding period for grazing after treating an area with SedgeHammer Herbicide?
    A

    The active ingredient in Sedgehammer can remain in the soil for a long time. Since the manufacturer recommends waiting at least 3 years before planting vegetables in an area treated with Sedgehammer Herbicide, we recommend waiting at least this long before allowing animals to graze in an area treated with this herbicide.
