I’m using Sedgehammer on my lawn right now. Pretty much follow the “Bermuda Triangle” herbicide plan outlined on The Lawn Forum. I really like the stuff. It’s more expensive up front, but it will last me forever with my lawn. I really like enjoy your content! Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing Rhett! The overwhelming response I've been getting is to go with Sedgehammer. I'll have to see about getting some for when the nutsedge comes back. It always comes back. 🙃 Also, thanks so much for choosing to watch my content.
@@RonHenry Thank you for your content Ron. I use a mixture of Dismiss and Sedgehammer. Dismiss will knock it down in 24-48 hrs (foliar) and Sedgehammer takes a little longer, but works to the root or nutlet(s).
@@RonHenry I use Prosedge since it doesn't contain a surfactant at the lowest label rate + Dismiss at the lowest label rate. I find the use of surfactants discolor my turf. Adding a low N or a couple ounces of Fe should aid in combating the discoloration in using Sedgehammer or Image for example.
This time of year it’s unlikely to be crabgrass. Probably is Poa Annua. It’s difficult to say if you’ll need reseed without knowing how extensive the weed is in your lawn.
@@RonHenry dangit. Lol . Its getting worse and worse, only reason i left it its because it looked green .. an uneven green tone, but green . but this yr i noticed its almost half my small lawn . ( Total lawn square is approx 700 sq ft ) 😭
Hit it with Certainty and surfactant. That should get rid of it. Certainty: golfcourselawn.store/products/certainty-herbicide-1-25-oz-sedge-and-poa-annua-control Surfactant: golfcourselawn.store/products/hi-yield-spreader-sticker-non-ionic-surfactant-16-oz
Good point man. I mainly use it for Nutsedge but it is effective against a broad family of weeds. I still don't like that it discolors the grass slightly but since I only typically use once per season, I can live with it. 😎
Yep, image is great. Also sedgehammer, cheap!! Ive only spot treated with sedgehammer. Mix up a hand pump sprayer and If I remember its good for 12 days, so you can have it mixed on hand and spot spray when needed. All the rain has us in our region a little washed out color, once we dry out that green is gonna pop! Looks great now its only gonna get better, thanks for the video.
Ron Henry I used it once last yr to spot treat, I don’t remember? I know the alpha Bermuda recovered if it did. Don’t recall that being an issue per se?
I use Empero (generic SedgeHammer) and sometimes combine with Sedge Ender. Empero is halsofuron and SE is sulfentrazone. I pretty much eliminated it from my flower bed but we've had so much rain over the last month that the nutsedge is showing up in the lawn. The battle is on! Made a big mistake and pulled it out of the flower bed a couple of times.
I've used Sedge Hammer and that seems to work great for my lawn which is a cool season type that's a mix of KBG, PR, and some fescue mixed in. I throw it in with a cocktail of other herbicides such as Quinclorac and some Ortho mixes from HomeDepot or Lowes.
Yes you can Darlene. Image needs to be watered in, so applying it before rain would be ideal. Nutsedge tends to grow during the warmer times of the year, so I would just treat for it when present. Using pre-emergent in the spring and fall can also help reduce how much you'll have to deal with. Appreciate you watching.
Thanks for the great information! Also, aerating can help because Bermuda is drought tolerant and nutsedge isn't. I see that you have been staying busy working in the yard since your days of leading the Bad Boys🏀 the Championships 🏆. Go #11😄
As far a big box store items, Image is super stuff. It’s a little slow cause it works systemically through the root system. The one caution I’d add is that there are several versions. One in particular is very harmful for Bermuda (meant for centipede and StA) so folks need to read label carefully. But the very best product I’ve used for sedges is sedgehammer+. It’s faster while less aggressive in the turf. But not found in BBs.
Ron Henry I used image about a week ago and I didn’t think it worked up until yesterday when I started seeing about 75% of the nutsedge yellowing up. May hit some problem spots again in a few days.
It does take a while to start working but at least it gets rid of the nutsedge. I just want to keep nutsedge out of my turf. It can get out of hand quickly.
There isn't a good one Dawn. You'll want to go with Certainty if you have warm season grass or Sedgehammer if you have cool season grass. golfcourselawn.store/collections/lawn-weed-killers
My neighborhood is brand new, and the sod was planted around last october (2023). The bermuda is still dormant, but nutsedge has started to grow all over the place. Would this product be safe to use even though the sod is still fairly new? Located in Garner NC.
I would use this instead. golfcourselawn.store/products/certainty-herbicide-1-25-oz-sedge-and-poa-annua-control Works faster and controls more weeds than just sedges.
I’m going for Dismiss NXT soon. I’ve got a real NutSedge problem and I think I’m going to need the big guns. Probably going to tank mix with Celsius and see if I can’t put a hurtin’ on the Dallisgrass that I’ve got too.
Sounds like a plan Brian. If possible, I would test in a small area first before you blanket spray the entire lawn. You want to get an idea of what that mixture will do to you turf grass. Let me know how it works out. 😎👍
Great video, I think they make 2 different types, one for warm season grass, and another for cool season. I think the one you have that has part of a red label in front in for Bermuda grass. Thanks
Appreciate you watching Eric. A better option for sedges is Certainty: golfcourselawn.store/products/certainty-herbicide-1-25-oz-sedge-and-poa-annua-control Warm season only though.
No Sonny. The best way to get rid of Dallisgrass is to physically remove it. The herbicides in this video won't work against dallisgrass. Hope this helps.
I used image a week and a half ago. The very same day the nutsedge began turning yellow/brown. The next day it was pretty obviously being affected as was the Bermuda grass around the sprayed areas. Left for a week so no mowing. When I did mow, the sedge looks very healthy. Anyone suggest whether I need to spray more image or go to something else?
If you're looking to kill sedges or kyllinga, probably the best product for warm season grass is Certainty. golfcourselawn.store/products/certainty-herbicide-1-25-oz-sedge-and-poa-annua-control
What up I have a question I have come on Bermuda and I want to put down a good Bermuda seed do you think I should kill the come Bermuda or just over seed with a good Bermuda seed can you please help me with this decision thank you love you video and good information
Hi Juan. You'll get the best result from killing the existing Bermuda and putting down fresh seed. You can overseed but it may take a season or 2 to spread evenly so that the color looks even. This will be most apparent when the grass is going into dormancy and coming out of dormancy. As far as the seed I recommend, go with Arden 15. Can get it here: amzn.to/2EZEBpj Let me know if I can help with anything else.
I've not really see a huge correlation Stvrob63. Mowing lower is definitely better than taller. Nutsedge loves wet areas though so if you can reduce that, it will help.
@@RonHenry thanks. Just bought a house with a mixed bermuda/nutsedge lawn. I think the previous owners were overwatering. Im hoping the bermuda will crowd most of it it out. Your lawn looks great.
@@stvrob6320 you can get the nutsedge under control. By limiting your watering and use Image and Sedgehammer should knock it out. Also be sure to keep up with your mowing. Twice per week will do wonders for the quality of your lawn. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks for the kind words about the lawn. I spend entirely too much time messing with it. :-)
Hello Ron, with all the weeds that are starting to grow as the weather temps start to rise here in southeastern NC, is it ok or not to blanket my lawn with which is still dormant and far from established with Image? I'm really trying to get ahead of the many different weeds and Poa that I already have growing before the grass(bermuda) turns green. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I've heard you talk about Milo and I've seen it here in our local ACE, but when is it a good time to put it out especially with the weeds so active right now? Thank my man!!
Hi Virgil. If you need to blanket your lawn, now would be the ideal time if your grass is still dormant. Much less chance of stressing vs. when it's actively growing. Let me know if I can help answer anything else.
Nice nice Tony. I've not used the concentrate before. Just the version that connects to a garden hose. Have you evr used the garden hose version? I kind of wonder what differences you've seen; if any.
Ron Henry I haven’t use the hose end just the pump sprayer to spot spray the Dallisgrass and the Nutsedge and any other weeds I find. It does stunt the Bermuda some but it comes back good. It takes about a week or so to start seeing results but it does work.
Hello Ron, i just bought this exact product but had a question about usage. Im in north Dallas and my lawn is still waking up. I can see some greening but it has a way to go. Anyway, the instructions say " do not apply during transition periods or during periods of very slow turf growth." Would I harm my lawn if I sprayed this now? I have already treated some weeds with a Bayer product two weeks ago but this nutsedge is insane. Appreciate any advice.
It will slow your lawn greening up Marco. What you could do is wait for the lawn to come out of dormancy, and use Certainty instead. It's a commercial grade product that will eliminate sedges in you warm season lawn. golfcourselawn.store/products/certainty-herbicide-1-25-oz-sedge-and-poa-annua-control
@@RonHenry thanks so much for the reply! Do you recommend another option that's more cost effective? I have about 1k SQ ft to treat and that's outside my $ range. What are your thoughts on sedge hammer? Never used but keeps coming up in my searchs.
Sedge ender bu bonite, concentrate. Can broadcast in sprayer or put in hand spray bottle for spot treatment at each individual plant at a little higher concentration.
Thanks for the recommendation Theomass. I'm getting a lot of recommendations around Sedgehammer. I'll have to give it a try when the nutsedge comes back. Gracias señor!😎👍
That's a good idea Drew. I'll either spot treat next time or try a different product. Everyone seems to really like Sedgehammer so that might be what I use next time around.
Hi Craig. Primarily on nutsedge. I primarily pull weeds from my lawn manually.Nutsedge is the exception because it's so tenacious to get rid of. I do believe that it's effective against poa though.
Thats my absolute fear with image. I have the concentrate and I rarely use it. It discolored and slow growth on my turf. Ortho usually give me good result. However I'm thinking to retry the image at 1/2 the recommend rate on a hidden section and see if it works.
I totally get it Robert. The grass has already recovered but the discoloration is irritating. I'm getting a lot of recommendations around Sedgehammer so I'll probably give that a try next time nutsedge resurfaces. Image definitely gets the job done with the nutsedge. The grass just pays a price for it. 😬🌿
Nice David. Arde 15 is a great grass. Converting from tall fescue to it would mean killing off the rye and fescue and doing a lawn renovation. Big project, but the results could be pretty amazing. Let me know if I can help with anything. 😎
Bro! I’ve got an out break that I don’t recall ever having! I don’t have a ton so I’ve been pulling them but problem is it could of spread so pulling it doesn’t mean it’s gone. Time to burn it all down I guess !! Lmao
Omar, for Nutsedge, IMAGE may be what you'll need to end up using. It's a really, really difficult weed to get rid of. If you apply IMAGE make sure to only make 1 pass. That's all you need to knock the nutsedge down. 👍
I know this product is very good at its job, but looking back at the reviews online, there's a lot of people complaining that it killed their grass. There is a huge disclaimer that I believe most people miss that is causing this issue. The first bullet point on the application instructions says "Use only on well-established, non-stressed, label lawngrasses with a dense and uniform stand." If you don't have a healthy lawn that is capable of recovering itself post application, then of course it will kill off what grass you have. This is why I cannot stress enough: READ THE LABEL!
Hi Macinac. You make a good point about using on well-established lawns at the correct rate. Most people overapply the product and don't water it in (Image) per the instructions which is why they often get a subpar result. Appreciate you chiming in sir. Thanks for watching.
Heya Chad. Yep! It's the one weed I have trouble getting rid of permanently. Try out some Image. It works great. By the way, you're getting an honorable mention in an upcoming video. 😎👍
@@RonHenry , hey I appreciate that. I too live here in Ga. (Cumming) and have been thinking about putting some vids on the Tube. I've had a small lawn care service business now for about 11 years and have used several different brands/types of reel mowers (locke/gravely, TruCut-of course, Trimmer-never again, and the new recently purchased 25 inch Mclane Greenskeeper- which I'm regretting). But I love talking lawn care with anyone that will lend an ear. Thanks again for the effort and time that you put into your vids.
Chad, You absolutely should start your channel man. As a lawn care professional, I'm sure you'll have a perspective that's different to enthusiasts like me. Any knowledge that helps people improve their lawns is good. I've been toying with the idea of a Toro Greensmaster but the pricing on them is astronomical. I'm also not sure if my turf is quite smooth enough for a greens mower.
@@RonHenry , yes your lawn does have some "interesting terrain" and that slope on your front lawn will give you a workout with a cylinder type reel mower as well. I'm sure you have checked out the "Swordsman " brand cylinder type of reel mowers. Their a company out of the Czech republic but they actually have a distributor here in Buford (I recently discovered them myself). One of their top of the line mowers goes for about 3,100 i think. This past week I took a tour of their shop and was very impressed with their product. Check out their You Tube channel Reel Rollers and other videos in regards to the Swordsman mowers. I think you'll be impressed by them.
I'm checking them out now Chad. I'm thinking there has to be a major difference between the Swordsman and the Toro due to the price difference. I'm guessing the Toro is designed for heavier duty since designed for regular golf course use?

I have nutsedge in my Zeon Zoysia, will Image work for me? I'm in GA, too. (PTC).
Hi Sheril. Yep. It will work fine on Zoysia. Let me know if I can help with anything else. 😎
@@RonHenry Thanks so much! New sub! Love your videos and the fact you're in my area so your info is especially relevant to me. Thanks again!
You're most welcome Sheril !
Thats my absolute fear with image. I have the concentrate and I rarely use it. It discolored and slow growth on my turf. Ortho usually give me good result. However I'm thinking to retry the image at 1/2 the recommend rate on a hidden section and see if it works.
I totally get it Robert. The grass has already recovered but the discoloration is irritating. I'm getting a lot of recommendations around Sedgehammer so I'll probably give that a try next time nutsedge resurfaces. Image definitely gets the job done with the nutsedge. The grass just pays a price for it. 😬🌿
@@RonHenry u know what. I didn't even remember about sledgehammer. With that said I'm going to order 2 sachet now just because.
Hahaha. Going to try something different eh?
@@RonHenry yes sir. That's what we do.
My man. 😎
Hey Ron, what state do you live in? We live in New Mexico.
Hi David. I live in northeast Georgia. I'm between Atlanta and Athens, GA. What kind of grass do you have in New Mexico?
I’ve never been there, but I bet it’s really nice. My lawn is primarily Tall fescue and rye grass. We’re debating on going with the Ardent 15.
Nice David. Arde 15 is a great grass. Converting from tall fescue to it would mean killing off the rye and fescue and doing a lawn renovation. Big project, but the results could be pretty amazing. Let me know if I can help with anything. 😎
I can’t tell if I have nutsedge or crabgrass…
Bro! I’ve got an out break that I don’t recall ever having! I don’t have a ton so I’ve been pulling them but problem is it could of spread so pulling it doesn’t mean it’s gone. Time to burn it all down I guess !! Lmao
Omar, for Nutsedge, IMAGE may be what you'll need to end up using. It's a really, really difficult weed to get rid of. If you apply IMAGE make sure to only make 1 pass. That's all you need to knock the nutsedge down. 👍
I know this product is very good at its job, but looking back at the reviews online, there's a lot of people complaining that it killed their grass. There is a huge disclaimer that I believe most people miss that is causing this issue. The first bullet point on the application instructions says "Use only on well-established, non-stressed, label lawngrasses with a dense and uniform stand." If you don't have a healthy lawn that is capable of recovering itself post application, then of course it will kill off what grass you have. This is why I cannot stress enough: READ THE LABEL!
Hi Macinac. You make a good point about using on well-established lawns at the correct rate. Most people overapply the product and don't water it in (Image) per the instructions which is why they often get a subpar result. Appreciate you chiming in sir. Thanks for watching.
I use the samr thing #redlabel but I have some sedge happer I'm going to try later this year
I'm hearing quite a few recommendations for Sedgehammer in the comments. I'll have to give it a try. 😎
Have this in my zoysia turf. It drives me crazy.
Heya Chad. Yep! It's the one weed I have trouble getting rid of permanently. Try out some Image. It works great. By the way, you're getting an honorable mention in an upcoming video. 😎👍
@@RonHenry , hey I appreciate that. I too live here in Ga. (Cumming) and have been thinking about putting some vids on the Tube. I've had a small lawn care service business now for about 11 years and have used several different brands/types of reel mowers (locke/gravely, TruCut-of course, Trimmer-never again, and the new recently purchased 25 inch Mclane Greenskeeper- which I'm regretting). But I love talking lawn care with anyone that will lend an ear. Thanks again for the effort and time that you put into your vids.
Chad, You absolutely should start your channel man. As a lawn care professional, I'm sure you'll have a perspective that's different to enthusiasts like me. Any knowledge that helps people improve their lawns is good. I've been toying with the idea of a Toro Greensmaster but the pricing on them is astronomical. I'm also not sure if my turf is quite smooth enough for a greens mower.
@@RonHenry , yes your lawn does have some "interesting terrain" and that slope on your front lawn will give you a workout with a cylinder type reel mower as well. I'm sure you have checked out the "Swordsman " brand cylinder type of reel mowers. Their a company out of the Czech republic but they actually have a distributor here in Buford (I recently discovered them myself). One of their top of the line mowers goes for about 3,100 i think. This past week I took a tour of their shop and was very impressed with their product. Check out their You Tube channel Reel Rollers and other videos in regards to the Swordsman mowers. I think you'll be impressed by them.
I'm checking them out now Chad. I'm thinking there has to be a major difference between the Swordsman and the Toro due to the price difference. I'm guessing the Toro is designed for heavier duty since designed for regular golf course use?
I wish this was in Europe
I hear you
I'm thinking that whatever is "affecting" your neighbor's lawn is the culprit😂. Their lawn is 1/2 dead. 🤣🤣🥴😳
Note: I know, Image discolors.
Appreciate you watching and chiming in!
@@RonHenry Thank you. You are doing great work🤘
@@bushleaguesociety Happy to help!
Nutsedge!!
Sounds like something on your undercarriage on a hot summer day.
Hahahaha. Best comment of the morning. 😂
Still got your rs?
Got mine back again after some more boost sitting right around 29psi.
Heya Levi. Nope. I sold the RS a couple years ago. I'm driving one of the new Supras these days. It's currently at stage 2. Just under 500 whp.
Nuts edge is my mortal enemy....I pledge to rid the earth of its existence!!!!
You and me both Robert! It's horrible stuff. Makes a mess of an otherwise great lawn! What do you use to kill it?🌿😎
