  • 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.

    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.

    Q
    Can SedgeHammer Herbicide be used in a succulent bed?
    A

    SedgeHammer Herbicide will work in a succulent bed, but you would want to be careful not to let the product touch any of the plants, so you would only need to do spot treatments. The product may do damage to the succulents if it were to get on them.

    Q
    What product would you recommend to spray the infield of a baseball field located in the upstate of SC?

    For nutsedge, the best product by far is Sedgehammer herbicide.  Sedgehammer is a selective herbicide that will only kill the nutsedge.
