Why would I want to kill sedge? I was researching sedge as a way to help soak up the water that sits in our back yard every time it rains.

Sledge is an invasive grass and if you don't get rid of it it will invade your whole yard and choke out everything else, it is also called nut grass and it grows in patches i like nice cushiony grass where my grandkids could roll around in it and sledge grass exposes the other ornament grasses

Sedge will absorb much water; however, as others have indicated can easily become a dominate grass type. This can be a problem because sedge is not as visually appealing compared to current "traditional" grass types used in residential lawns. Still, sedge varieties are native to many parts of the country and world and do serve a purpose.

Sedge grows much faster than the grass in our lawn. We have to cut every four or five days with an infestation of sedge. We recently treated it in the middle of August, the sedge is yellow and dying off. We will now be able to go ten or more days before mowing.

It is a very aggressive weed that looks awful in a lawn. Maybe it would work for what you need, but be careful about it's spreading. See if there is another plant that would work without being so aggressive.

Sedge is a nuisance grass that will kill other more favorable grasses. I have an investment in a nice lawn that is becoming infested with this weed which is extremely difficult to control.

Sedge is extremely invasive and will take over any grass you have planted in your lawn, and then proceed to take over your flower bed. I do not believe it can ever truly be killed, only controlled, because of its deep (as in 3, 4, 5 + feet) root system. I am not sure what your standing water problem is, but I believe there must be a better solution than encouraging the growth of sedge. On the other hand, now that you have some infestation, you can count on any ongoing expense to control it. Personally, I would level your back yard, and it that doesn't fix it, consider an underground drainage system. Best of luck...

It is a weed that will take over grass or landscape and can't be killed topically or by a lush yard. Sedge is a nuisance weed

I used remedy to kill cactus. I mixed a brew with diesel and remedy, and it took care of the yucca plants quickly. According to garden guides.com, the way to kill sedge is to avoid watering because the plants like moisture, and spray with a herbicide using halosulfuro and imazaquin. Product names are Sledgehaammer and Certainty. It might take two or three applications, accoriding to the web site. Hope this helps. Doris In Kansas

No. But to me that's an advantage, since you can water the plants and not have them drown. In addition, it also means you won't have standing water for mosquitoes to breed in. One person said that she did want to fill it with soil, so she put something in the open spaces to close them up. I prefer the drainage aspect myself. It also means that it a plant doesn't do well you can simply lift out the pot and replace it with a different one--or change it with the seasons, a feature I like.

I loved this stuff... grows on the top of the soil so needs lots of water and moisture. but then again I have sandy yard. I live in the south, texas and when we had the drought it died.. I believe because of the heat AND the low humidity... it was terrible.. I have been thinking of planting again..it is beautiful I cannot deny that fact.....

Also, I made a mixture of peat moss and perlite for the soil. If any of the leaves or snappers touch the mixture, they burn. You can't avoid it because of the way it grows.

unfortunately yes. We had to resort to something as inch worms were exfoliating most of our mature trees and creating quite a mess in the yard. We used it specifically to get rid of these worms and only used it as directed. Once the inch worms were controlled we had no need to use it anymore

Just might work for everything living in pond/ isn't that the reason to have a pond , so living water creatures can inhabit it. Water and electricity do not mix.

I have a yard that backs up to open space where the voles live. They were going after bulbs etc. in my yard. I had been using warfarin under my deck before I knew what was coming into the yard. Warfarin did not work but the voles loved it. So I used it as a feeding station under my deck since they were coming regularly and feeding on it. (I had a lattice around the deck so our dog could not get to the poison.) I was having a problem with the voles eating the motomco so I sweetened the "pie" by thinning some honey and coating the motomco. I have not gotten rid of the voles but seem to have fewer bothering the yard. I also was fortunate to be able to see some of their burrows out back so I put some motomco in the entrance to their burrow just before a cold period with snow. This also seemed to help. However, I fear it is going to be a battle to get the voles to eat the bait and not the taste things in the garden. I do not put the poison out where the birds or other animals can get to it.

I bought it with the main purpose of eradicating creeping Chas (my nemesis!). It was height of summer, so I'm not sure it was the best time to apply. All said: no immediate effect, but the next year, most of it was gone from the yard. The untreated adjacent yard is still crawling with it. So maybe it was taken up in the roots and slowly killed it over the winter.

Yes, I have done that. I have also used some to water other plants in my yard, and they seem to love it.

Hello & glad you asked. This is a granular product to be used in potted plants, spread evenly & worked into the soil. We ordered it not knowing how specific the application was. But we found it useful in decorative container plants. We also discovered that this product is very harmful if it gets into ponds & streams because it will devastate aquatic life.

First of all, the weed razor works great and based on the results in my case, it seems like mowing your lawn...you probably will have to deal with weed growth as necessary..no big deal for my 1/2 acre pond and I refuse to use chemicals which might hurt my trout.

Its meant for plants in the ground, not in aquariums. It would probably kill any fish or whatever else you had in the aquarium except plants.

I agree with JP's answer. I have fescue and buffalo grass and it worked fine on both, it only killed the sedge. If you're not sure, or if the instructions warn against your type of lawn grass, then don't use it and/or return the product. Almost all Amazon Marketplace suppliers will refund your purchase price if the product is unopened.

We used this to successfully get rid on the watermeal in our pond, which is very very hard to kill. This killed all the vegetation in our pond. I would not use this if you are concerned about your water lilies.

The product comes with a very large listing (inside it's folding label) of trees etc that it will kill. I suggest you buy one and see how that works. I bought several as I had 35 Oleanders to kill. And it works great. Just beware to follow safety directions.

I put a small plant & small rock formation in that the fish can swim through. I eventually took out the plant bc my fish got bigger & figured it needed more room but left rock formation in
