will this kill zoysia? I'm heading into my third week post laying sod. Roots pretty well established and just cut down to watering twice a day. I applied pre emergent and a preventative fungicide.
The effects may take more than a week to show up. Sometimes 10 days or more. It's usually when I think it didn't work at all and want to apply another app then it really kicks in.
Hello Grass Daddy, yet another great vid! Thanks! FYI: I used a black Sharpie to permanently mark my gallons on my white boom sprayer. You can always see it very easily. 😀
Thank you so much. I feel like this video was made for me. You had suggested the Sedgehammer in a comment that I sent you before. I purchased it and applied it and OMGSH it works! The nutsedge is turning light yellow and dying. Yayyyy. Thank you Grass Daddy!
Question: I didn't see a photo of your lawn care parts to the nozzle end of your sprayer clearly in your video & could not get the video to stop long enough for me to view a good photo of all the parts necessary to adapt the nozzle. In your lawn care products section linked, do you use all of the first 4 attachments shown there or is there anything else/more to make up the complete unit that you use on your sprayer? Thanks for any info. I appreciate it. Nice video, too.
How can you tell if it's nimblewill or creeping bentgrass? I'm not sure what I killed, but it was either of those two and I used Glysophate instead of Tenacity and reseeded.
I actually have sedgehammer arriving today to address an outbreak in my yard. Picked up the bottle, so I can mix small doses. Looking forward to the cooler temps!
How does that mixing small doses actually work, as the manufacturer, on their videos, state that it should not be stored and should be used immediately? Seems like keeping small doses would be the opposite of what the manufacturer actually states. Not trying to be argumentative, but just trying to learn more about this product by watching such videos, as well as listening and learning from the pro-landscaper who recommended it to me. Does it lose potency or deteriorate rapidly if made into small batches as you do? The Sedgehammer Plus has a dry surfactant in it, so perhaps that is why it isn't recommended to store. I simply do not know the reasoning and trying to learn as I go about this product. Thanks.
@@a1930ford so when you buy the packet, you have to mix the entire thing in one gallon of water and use it all (or toss what’s left over if you don’t use all of the mix). When I bought the bottle, I thought I could mix smaller batches, but that is actually not the case. Something I didn’t realize until after I received the product and read the label. You still have to mix a gallon at a time, but it’s a much smaller quantity of the product you need. But you can store the undissolved amount that is left in the bottle. It’s such a much lower use rate than the packet, and I don’t know why that’s the case, perhaps a different formulation. If you are reading stuff from the manufacturer, you probably have the right info. If you have questions, they may be able to help you.
Sedgehammer works great, but it takes about 14 days for it to fully yellow out. We've had more nutsedge than ever here in the North East. About 10 years ago, I've never seen nutsedge in my lawn, but now it's every year. Sedgehammer does help suppress it also, I spray the known areas in early July before it sprouts up. I've noticed that I've gotten less and less each year but neighbors are getting more and more. I just received my free sticker and wanted to say thank you. I also wore the Grass Daddy shirt I ordered while mowing the lawn yesterday. My lawn looks great because of all your tips, thanks a lot.
I've heard numerous times that nutsedge can be difficult to eradicate unless you use something professional like Sedgehammer. In my experience I used Spectracide weed stop with crabgrass control 1 time and it got rid of all my nutsedge with it.
Finally your back and wearing the new gear awesome 👍did you figure out what you were going to do by the drive way to create that edge? And it's still 100 over here in California 🥵 but my kbg mix in the back is still doing ok even after the 3 weeks of high 95's ! Also talking about stickers I gave you a long over due shout out on my page if you want to check that video out your logo is on my thumbnail.👀👏 and are you still using the prodiamine?
I may just do a regular driveway 😁 I used the granular version of prodiamine this time so I didn't have as much control over the application rate like liquid. I'll have to check the vid out ;)
@@GrassDaddy I have never tried the Granular version only the liquid gold 😉 on mine and has worked great also on all my lawns I take care of and have no weeds but I was using other products and ingredients with decent results to the point when I saw you using this way back when you seeded your whole yard and was using the blankets to try to keep the seed from washing away and ever since then I been using it so thank you for that👏 also the driveway I would do the whole thing also and maybe add a section leading to the front stairs👍 keep up the great work.
I have tons of this in my yard in one low area where some fill dirt was placed.. all the way down my my fence a good 2-3’ strip. I didn’t know what it was until recently. My yard is going to look bad after it’s sprayed 😔
The earlier the better. The way this works is it will stunt the growth. So when you next cut it won't continue to grow and eventually it dies. However, you will probably find new sprouts that you didn't spray before so it will definitely take a few weeks of applications to fully eradicate it.
So you need to wait until your new grass needs to be cut 2-3 times before weed killing. I do believe tenacity will kill nutsedge which is less harmful to new grass.
You will kill maybe 60% of it there are nutlets underground that will come back next year. GCI turf showed a new granular product that seems to have a better kill of the active and the nutlets that didn't sprout.
So you don't do your whole lawn? I used Tzone for creeping charlie last month and i did the whole lawn. 😢. Should i use sledgehammer this month?
I clicked on this video because I thought the title was killing nutsedge with a sledgehammer lol
Hahahaha that would be a funny April fool's video idea
@@GrassDaddy ya lol

Yup, I didn't see anything happen for almost three weeks. Then BOOM !! Smoked 'em.
You talk about PPE, but you’re wearing landscape gloves for chemicals? Makes sense
They are a waterproof latex glove, perfectly fine for the chemicals I use in the concentrations I use.

Glad it worked!!
@GrassDaddy you can't apply this in Temps above 85 degrees?? Or you can ?
This is more how to spray. Thanks for the video. In my humble opinion, why not show the progress,result within the next 7 to 14 days. Thanks again

Can you use sedgehammer on freshly seeded Bermuda? My lawn is seedlings in 50% and think in others.
Planted new seed a month ago got grass and sedge in the same spot. Can I still treat or would I hurt new grass?
Which of the ready to spray big box product has worked best for nutsedge for you?
I actually have sedgehammer arriving today to address an outbreak in my yard. Picked up the bottle, so I can mix small doses. Looking forward to the cooler temps!
Great idea, I could only find the packets when I bought it a while back

Must be our mild winter we had and warmer then normal summer northeast!!
Adding seed oil increases results as well as speeds it up.

Awesome!! Thanks for watching
First of all, thanks for the sticker. Secondly, I have a sedge problem but I don’t want the dying sedge to ugly up my lawn.
You're welcome! And I hear ya.
I've heard numerous times that nutsedge can be difficult to eradicate unless you use something professional like Sedgehammer. In my experience I used Spectracide weed stop with crabgrass control 1 time and it got rid of all my nutsedge with it.
Yeah I think it depends on weather and maturity of plant but I have heard sedgehammer works way better
Hi thanks for the grass daddy sticker!! Thank you for all the good videos. It’s appreciated!!!
You're welcome!
Is that a big box store sprayer and a new add-on tip? In some of your previous videos I’ve seen you discussing the tip, where did you pick up?
On my Amazon shopping page I have the nozzles listed, teejet. I use one for weed killing and one for soil apps
Just received my Grass Daddy sticker in the mail yesterday and wanted to say THANK YOU !!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
I used sledgehammer which did work. But,it came back in the exact same spot this year too...
Yup it's usually a yearly issue for a bit until all the nuts in the ground have grown and died.

@@GrassDaddy just saw you subscribed thank you for the support 🙏
Do you happen to know if sedge hammer is safe for southern lawns? Thanks and God bless! 😁👍
Yes it is but read the label to be sure your grass is listed
Just received my Grass Daddy sticker in the mail. Thank you!!! Gonna put it on my newly purchased retractable hose reel.
Wahoo! Awesome!
youre supposed to wait at least two days after mowing to spray nutsedge . Says right in the instructions .
Yup that is the same for all weed killers but sometimes it doesn't work out
i destroyed nutsedge with mesotrione and sedgehammer slow to work but knocks them down
Great idea!
Thanks for another useful video. Maybe when you do your update let us know how much of the gallon you mixed, ended up being used. Thank you!
Great idea!
Great idea w the stickers. Good info on the Nutsedge!
Thanks!
Hey just got my sticker
I used 2 applications of sledgehammer last year which worked but came back this year in same spot. Trying the roundup for lawns this year.
Keep applying when you see it. It takes patience. You will get it eventually. It works. Extremely tough weed to eradicate for sure.
I'll echo John and say keep at it. Eventually it will die off.
I plan to overseed in 2 weeks and I had some sedge appear. If I treat now will it be ok ? I heard you mention it but want to double check.
When you overseed use tenacity as it will kill the nutsedge but also let the seed germinate
@@GrassDaddy Thanks Tim. 👍🏻
I have tons of this in my yard in one low area where some fill dirt was placed.. all the way down my my fence a good 2-3’ strip. I didn’t know what it was until recently. My yard is going to look bad after it’s sprayed 😔
Yeah it's tough but it'll get better over time
Grass Daddy after I spray this how long should I wait before putting down seed.
I’m getting TONS of Nutsedge in my reno. When can I do something or just wait?
The earlier the better. The way this works is it will stunt the growth. So when you next cut it won't continue to grow and eventually it dies. However, you will probably find new sprouts that you didn't spray before so it will definitely take a few weeks of applications to fully eradicate it.

Minor legend
What spray nozzle are you using?
Teejet, I have it listed on my Amazon page
Sledgehammer plus
First year for me using sedgehammer! It did awesome. Took about 4 days to a week.
Bow many applications did you need
@@MrIowahawks77 1 application
You will kill maybe 60% of it there are nutlets underground that will come back next year. GCI turf showed a new granular product that seems to have a better kill of the active and the nutlets that didn't sprout.
Aww nuts 🤣 but I'll have to try that sometime
First
Lol. I just realized why my sprayer has been leaking. I left that filter basket on my work bench.
Yikes!! But yes that would do it hehe
Omg! The end of the hose went down into the sprayer tank! Your children will surely be poisoned. ☠️
No product was in the tank yet
