    Q
    Can I still eat the lemons if I sprayed SedgeHammer + Herbicide around the lemon tree?

    Q
    Can I use SedgeHammer to kill Bermuda weeds? And not burn my St. Augustine grass
    A

    SedgeHammer + Herbicide will not control bermuda but is safe to use on St Augustine and Bermuda for the weeds listed on the product label.   Bermuda grass is so closely related to St. Augustine grass that there is nothing that will remove Bermuda from St. Augustine and not hurt the St. Augustine as well.  In your situation it is recommended to spot treat the Bermuda with Round Up/other non selective herbicide and kill it directly, and then replant St. Augustine in those areas.   It can take multiple applications to eliminate it and best time is in the spring as it is starting to green up.

    My sedum ground cover is infested with yellow nutsedge/nutgrass
    A

    No, SedgeHammer + Herbicide is not labeled to be applied over your sedum ground cover.   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 ground cover as possible.

    Q
    Is SedgeHammer Plus Herbicide safe for switchgrass to kill yellow nutsedge? Switchgrass is used for wildlife cover.
    A

    SedgeHammer Plus Herbicide is not labeled safe or tolerant on switchgrass. Unfortunately, the best option for treating nutsedge in switchgrass would be use a non selective herbicide such as glyphosate and spot treat the weeds directly. You can harvest the switchgrass high enough to leave actively growing weeds, then apply glyphosate at 1 to 2 quarts per acre..It is important to wait until the switchgrass is dormant so that it is not damaged by the glyphosate.

    Check with your Extension agent or other experts for information on which herbicides are labeled for use in the state and county where you will be using them.

    Q
    Does Sedgehammer kill horsetail? Mine is in my bark mulch, not my grass. Will Sedgehammer get through mulch?
    A

    SedgeHammer Plus Herbicide is labeled for horsetail, however it is only labeled to be applied on turf. Diquat Water Weed and Landscape Herbicide will kill horsetail. Horsetail is very hard to control and it can be tough to properly penetrate through the plant. When using the Diquat you will need to mix it at the rate of 2- 4 oz per gallon of water and mix it with an 80% Non ionic surfactant.
