  • 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 Josh from Woodbury, Mn
    09/17/2017
    Q
    How late in the season can Sedgehammer be applied?
    I have a nutsedge problem in my yard in Minnesota and just overseeded at the beginning of September. Is October too late to apply Sedgehammer to a yard?
    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 it may only give partial control in the fall. It is best used in the warmer spring and summer months and early fall.

    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

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

  • Asked by Shawn from Lincoln, Ne
    09/09/2014
    Q
    Use of SedgeHammer around the edge of a pond?
    Can you use SedgeHammer around the edge of a pond. Currently our pond level has dropped and I sprayed Rodeo herbicide around the edge of a stocked pond to kill a variety of weeds and cattail, but it does not seem to touch the yellow nutsedge. Any advice would be great.
    A
    SedgeHammer is not recommended to be used in or around bodies of water. According to the SedgeHammer Herbicide label, do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark.
    We recommend adding a surfactant in addition to the Rodeo. DyneAmic Surfactant will act as a sticking agent to help the Rodeo absorb quicker into the weed resulting in faster knockdown.

    Q
    Can Sedgehammer be used on gardens, if so when should we apply?
    I have it where I have kohlarabi planted need to KILL it. also have it in flower gardens can it be killed.
    A

     

    Sedgehammer 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Asked by Ryan from Hawaii

    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
    How do you kill mallow?
    My neighbors yard is covered in back and now spreading to his front. I have found patches of this weed in my yard. How do I stop the spread? If I kill in my yard and he doesn't treat his am I fighting a losing battle?
    A
    We would recommend using Sedgehammer Herbicide. It is labeled to control mallow after it has already emerged. Sedgehammer can be used on just about any type of lawn, St. Augustine included. The Sedgehammer will control it in your lawn but your neighbor would have to do the same thing in order to make sure it is not continually spreading. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    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.
