  • Asked by Alma from El Paso, Tx

    Q
    Is it safe to use Sedgehammer directly around the base of established trees in the lawn?
    I have a lawn that is almost completely nutgrass. I have mature mulberry and ash tress in the lawn as well. I don't want to kill my trees but the nutgrass has completely taken over. Is it safe to spray Sedgehammer directly over the lawn that covers the roots of my trees? Thank you for such an informative website!!!
    A
    Sedgehammer may be applied to nutsedge that is at the base of a tree without harming the tree as long as you do not spray over top the tree as a broadcast. Try to be careful of overspray that may get on the tree as the label states that sprays directed over-the-top of trees may lead to damage of the tree.

  • 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 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
    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

    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.

  • Asked by Steve from Pevely, Missouri
    07/24/2019
    Q
    Can I mix a quinclorac product with the 13.5 gram Sedgehammer?
    A

    We recommend that you apply quinclorac separately from the small Sedgehammer packets since the Sedgehammer packet already contains a surfactant. Since quinclorac products generally require a more aggressive methylated seed oil surfactant, mixing these would cause extra stress on your desirable grass and may be too harsh.
