    Q
    Will Sedgehammer harm our fruit trees
    Grapefruit, orange and Lemmon
    A
    The Sedgehammer herbicide kills nutsedge without injury to turfgrass, established ornamentals, shrubs, and/or trees. 

    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.

    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?

  • Asked by Ryan from Hawaii
    08/21/2018
    Q
    How do I measure 0.9 grams of SedgeHammer Herbicide without the spoon?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is it safe to use SedgeHammer Herbicide on an established bed of Liriope?
    A

    SedgeHammer Herbicide should not be applied around groundcovers, ornamentals, vegetables, shrubs, trees, or flowers. It is to be applied to turf areas only. You can look at using a product like Image Kills Nutsedge Concentrate as it is labeled to be applied to Liriope.

  • Asked by Clint from Rosedale, Ny
    08/14/2017
    Q
    Do I have to pull up weeds after applying Sedgehammer?
    A

    No, you do not have to pull the weeds after applying SedgeHammer Herbicide, however, continually removing shoots eventually depletes the energy source reserves in the tubers.  Tubers are key to nutsedge survival. If you can limit production of tubers, you’ll eventually control the nutsedge itself.

    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
    A
    No, Sedgehammer Herbicide is not labeled to be used around any feed plots.

    Q
    What product would you recommend to spray the infield of a baseball field located in the upstate of SC?
    We had soil hauled in from the lower part of SC and placed in the infield. Since that time we have had problems with a grass that some people call nutsedge. We have tried Roundup but it keeps coming back.
    A
    For nutsedge, the best product by far is Sedgehammer herbicide.  Sedgehammer is a selective herbicide that will only kill the nutsedge.

  • Asked by Ron from Pa

    Q
    Will SedgeHammer kill white and red clover?
    I have sedge in my clover food plots for wildlife, and would like to control sedges, without harming clover.
    A

    SedgeHammer Herbicide is not labeled to be used in food plots and is not labeled to control clover.  We currently do not have a product labeled to be used in food plots for clover.  Most of the time you have to spot treat where the sedge is coming up with a glyphosate based product like the Glyphosel Pro being careful to spray as little of the clover as possible.

  • Asked by Ritchie from Columbia, Sc
    09/21/2019
    Q
    Can I mix other herbicides with SedgeHammer such as Trimec?
    A

    We would not recommend tank mixing SedgeHammer Herbicide with something like Trimec as the Sedgehammer requires a surfactant to use and Trimec does not.  Using one with Trimec could cause injury to your lawn since it already contains one and does not need any additional.
