    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.

    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
    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
    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
    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.

    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 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.
