Best Lawn Advice I've Ever Gotten! I applied the Empero Sedgehammer exactly as the video described, including the surfactant and dye. What a great success! None of the grass was affected but the Nutsedge stopped growing immediately. After a week it was yellow. After 2 weeks it was brown and drying up.

Im soooo glad I ran across your video on nutsedge.....I bought my house 3 yrs ago...... the people before me had several sections of yellow day lillies...so I thought these aggressive grass like weed were the Lillie's spreading....very wrong...I will address this problem now...thank you
The Ortho product is also available in a ready to use spray bottle. I buy several of those and dump them into a pump sprayer. In 20 years I haven’t had any damaged grass and it works fast. The bigger challenge for me is timing the application with mowing, timed watering, and rain. Remember, these products all depend on absorption through the leaves, so if you apply right after mowing they might be ineffective.
You can get the Ortho in a spray bottle (like Windex) for small spots. Much easier to target just the weed, and I haven't noticed any damage to surrounding turf. Obviously if you have a lot, one of these is better. But for subsequent years, or if you only have one or two small spots of it, just having it on hand is an amazing tool.
For the ultimate feeling of satisfaction, I go the extra mile, or inches anyway. I use a cheap water jet nozzle, like 1/4 inch. It doesn't have to be a powerful jet, just enough to blast the dirt away. I grab the stem with one hand and shoot the water jet down with the other along the stem and down to the nut and root ball. They vary in depth, some a 1 to 2 inches deep, but others are 4 to 5. It's easy to follow the stem down with your fingers and pluck them out with the nut and roots. Most of the dirt will just settle back into the hole, it may need a little help. But usually there are 4 or 5 plants in a group so just get all of them then just spray the dirt back but it mostly levels itself. It's a little messy but very satisfying knowing you got that sucker nut and all. You don't need a powerful stream, it's just slower but neater.
Spectricide makes a product sold at Lowes called Weed Stop that kills over 200 types of weeds, including nut sedge, without harming your lawn. I have used it with excellent results, and it will not break the bank - very reasonably priced.
Sledgehammer has another advantage…it can be added to other herbicides in the same sprayer. You can add it to 2,4-D amine for broadleaf weeds, quinclorac for grassy weeds like crabgrass, and even to Tenacity, which is an all-around herbicide. One small bottle of Sedgehammer can last a few seasons.
Ive taken the Ortho Nutsedge killer out of the hose sprayer and mixed 1/2 cup product per gallon of water in a pump sprayer. this has been very effective at targeting the nutsedge specifically and reducing waste. note: not my idea, found while scrolling the Home Depot reviews of the product. so someone took the time to explain the ratios.
Thx for sharing. Kinda takes away from the convenience. Might as well just buy the active ingredient in concentrate and likely save $. Thx for watching
Grubs destroyed a large part of my yard last year. This, purslane, and a host of other nox garbage is holding the ground in place while I do some construction. Once I'm done with equipment traffic I'm going postal on all that! Thanks for the tutorial... I can't wait...
I laid down weed block and lava rock and nutsedge came right through and I couldn’t pull it without getting the root. I started spraying it and it killed it quickly but took a few years and it no longer appears.
I find that if you just have a few it’s better to just pull them up versus spraying chemicals. When it gets hot out and dry most all of the chemicals I’ve tried burned the grass and might even kill it. Seed won’t normally won’t take until the fall so you create a dead spot and even more weeds will come up.
I pulled the nutsedge in my garden a couple of years ago. I pulled it twice and I thought I'd never get rid of it. I've used Sedge Ender and Empero and both work well but the Empero is much cheaper so that's what I use now. Spectracide also makes a weed killer with sufentrazone but it is a little too weak.
I buy the concentrate Spectraside and double the dose and it doesn't kill my grass and gets rid of the weeds for the time being. They'll come back like three or four months later but at least I get a little bit of time where the yard looks nice
Yeah is like $1.20 per gallon mixed, for most folks will last 20+ years for spot spraying 1.33 oz = 37 grams and only 0.9 grams per gallon Bottle makes 41 gallons
I have nutsedge in landscape beds in addition to the grass. Is the empero/sedgehammer safe near trees, shrubs and perennials? I used Image last year and stunted the growth/disfigured several plants.
The problem is nuts edge comes back every year so you have to spray it every single year. They need to come out with a pre-emergent or a post emergent that will kill it for good and not come back.
Sedgehammer damaged my nutgrass (the weed appeared to 'die'), but it came right back next season. I despise this weed. This year I tried Image Nutsedge killer. It also has damaged the nutsedge. Like Sedgehammer, the damage takes a week or more to show. I will have to wait until next year to see if it actually killed it. Image does hurt the fescue. I was told to wait 6 weeks to aerate/seed after using Image.
Is sedghammer safe for pets and other planted plants?? This is taking over the garden. It’s almost as high as I am because I just said forget it. I pulled it out twice and YES, it does grow back faster and thicker. Where does it come from?? How did it get there??
How did it get here!? LMBO,,,, The billion-dollar chemical companies drop the seeds from airplanes!! (Same kinda deal as COVID!) Then, they can make TRILLIONS selling the 'FIX'! ;>) HOW ABOUT LAMBs/ Mares TAIL? That stuff just laughs at Roundup!

I find most fast-kill herbicides don't provide long-term control, or at least as long as you get with slow-kill products. Consumer broad-spectrum killers like Roundup, which contain glyphosate, don't seem to last nearly as long as commercial glyphosate concentrate, same as the consumer level broadleaf sprays don't seem to last as long as commercial products. I'd rather pay more and get longer control than to see immediate but short-term results.
One thing that has worked for me, is not mowing as much in the hottest part of the season. The grass can get a little ragged looking, but it seems to get thicker and stronger, and the weeds can’t compete.
Again once you cut the nutsedge after spraying it didn't grow aggressively as before...so I actually prefer the slower death as the lawn looks better if that makes sense
I agree except that it grows thru your asphalt driveway eventually ruins it . Those herbicides are very harmful to the environment and they eventually work their way into the water table then we all drink it. I believe in Europe Roundup is prohibited from use for that reason
What you didn't mention was the effect of rain or irrigation after application. Does the product need to spend time on the weed before rain or irrigation?
@@wayneholmes4207 I assumed you would know. There isn't any "soil biology" that determines whether or not nutsedge grows in a yard. If it's a yard of grass, nutsedge will grow in it.
