Hi! My name is Vince and I enjoy all aspects of tending to the yard. By day, I am a professional engineer, but after work and on the weekends, I'm a true Lawn Care Nut and I would like to share my passion with you!
This channel focuses on lawn care and the practices I use to manage my yard throughout the year. I hope to teach about lawn fertilizer applications, soil amendments and bio-stimulants, cultural mowing practices, liquid and granular lawn applications, fungicide applications and much more. I want to teach the community about my hybrid-organic approach to lawn-care that is safe, easy and enjoyable. Oh, and of course show off some lawn stripes!
I encourage you to subscribe to the channel (it's FREE!), like the videos, and keep the conversation going in the comments section. I try my best to reply to all of your questions in the comments section to make sure you are getting the maximum experience out of the content on the channel.

Also I find where nutsedge is so are Bermuda grass mites ugh never ending 😢
Beware of milwaukee people. They wouldn't warrenty my $200 m12 6.0 battery even though it was in warrenty. I don't care how powerful this gun is. They do not stand behind their products
Oh man. That’s no good.
I run all milwaukee. Only ever had to make a warranty claim on my recip saw. They arranged pick up of the tool, got it repaired, and then delivered it back to me within a week. They even offered a replacement tool to cover me whilst mine was being fixed. It seems they do stand behind their products
I've been using Sedgehammer for 17 years now. Took over 5 years to exhaust all the nutlets in the front yard. (Entire "lawn" was nothing but nutsedge when we moved in.). Sprayed the yard 3 times per summer. The key is to spray before the new plants start developing new nutlets... at about the time they develop the 8th blade. Dawn dish liquid is my surfactant of choice. It breaks down the waxy coating on the blades to let the product be absorbed better. Use about a 1/4 teaspoon in a 3 gallon sprayer. Do not let them go to seed! They'll propagate like wildfire... And tick off the neighbors. That's why I'm still battling them to this day! The neighbors' nutsedge keeps sending seeds our way. Don't waste your money on the single serve packets.. If you (or your neighbors) have nutsedge, you'll easily hit the break even point with the bottle. And don't get lazy... Stay vigilant or they'll gain the upper hand on you. I'm still using the bottle I bought 16 years ago, when I realized there's no quick fix for an "infestation.". These days a 3 gallon mix lasts all summer. When the lawn was covered, I'd go through 2 tanks per treatment. Sedgehammer kills only nutsedge. It won't kill grass, flowers, or other weeds. I'll spray when its dry and the plants are thirsty, and when I know it won't rain for the rest out the day. Don't spray on a windy day, do wear long pants, and hold the sprayer nozzle close go the ground go keep from spraying yourself. Don't cut the lawn until at least the next day to allow the product to work its way down the blades. It will kill the plant, but not the nutlets...nothing kills those. Within 2 days you'll notice the nutsedge turn yellow/brown. Now its dead, but it won't wither. At this point just cut the lawn or pull it from the garden. Not so fun facts: Nutsedge propagates by seed, rhizomes and nutlets (kind or like mini tulip bulbs.) Each plant can produce dozens of nutlets. Each nutlet can produce dozens of new plants (Do that math!) Nutlets can sprout new plants year after year until they are exhausted. Nutlets can lay dormant for years, and re-activate when soil conditions are right. When you pull a plant, the nutlets break free and remain in the ground. Best of luck to you all!
Would have been nice to see the results
¿Do you use that 'sticky' additive to overcome the leaf's natural water repel surface tension? ¿Or does this nutsedge not have such a leaf property? Thanks for making and posting this video. I have some of this on one side of our house. (Also, another problem is this pink/globe clover: disgusting, by the road/sidewalk). Thanks again.
Use safety glasses when running that grinder.
I have tried it and followed the instructions. It did nothing.
❤❤
I would like to see your grass after two weeks. Thanks
The sedgegrass I have is in a couple of beds not in the lawn itself. I sprayed and it seems to be working . It was tall when I applied the product. My question is after the 2 weeks or so - can I then pull it out? or do I just cut it way down ? Trying to figure out how to clean up the flower beds that it's settled in.
pulling it does work but you would need to do that every week for a month or 2 before the plant exhausted its self and had nothing left. Sedgehammer takes more then one treatment as well that weed is a real pain in the ass to get rid of.
What site did you order that from? I want it early too!
This is direct from Milwaukee
I've had really good luck with SedgeStop or Vexis granules. I just sprinkle on growing ones and it kills them over time. And as far as I know you can use it later into the year.
I’m really NOT JEALOUS 🙄
Is there a monthly or yearly subscription fee to use the app or the system in general?
2 Applications of Bayer did NOTHING to weeds. Not even cover.
Wow, $66.69 for 1.3 oz of the powder. I've had success with 2-4-D.
Add a 1/2" square to 1/4" hex adaptor, and you will have a monster power, bit and fastener destroying 'Compact' impact driver.....
Heyyyy.... 4 inches isnt THAT short
LOL
Let's see what it can and can't do, huh? Or better yet it vs others. I have the brand new Ego 22 inch battery lawn mower. It's a BEAST, it doesn't seem to care what is in it's path.
Do you have an “after” video?
How the Hell you get this so FAST it not out till end of August I know had ordered it same day of when I saw PIPE LINE from OHIO POWER TOOLS 1/2 PIN DETENT I need to get invited to pipe line
🤷♂️
Very informative! I thought that type of grass was a young crabgrass of some sort… I have that and crabgrass so so it’s nice to know I’m fighting both lol thank you for the information
Lawns are so useless.....plant a vegetable garden....lawns are for fat lazy Americans
With that battery you can maximal losen 10 screws 😂
😂
It's 2.5 ho
Wow, 8 saw your video by accident. This is exactly what I have along my new driveway! Brought in about 3 tons of topsoil to finish grade along driveway, waiting till next month to plant new grass seed, and these annoying weeds keep popping up. New dirt=new weeds!
Why the fuel 1st and not the oil? 🤦♂️ So it mixes by itself! 😉
Shake shake shake!
Is this stuff safe to use on southern lawns, ie Saint Augustine?
Hi any idea of what I can use to get rid of bent grass that’s made it’s way into my bluegrass back yard. It’s terrible. Thanks.
Nutsedge is not a grass. It looks similar to grass.
What type of grass? Some say not to dethatch Bermuda.
Thanks. I’m getting ready to apply Sedgehammer and came across your video. I’ve used Tenacity a couple of times this summer (on other weeds + sedge), which works, but new sedge still popping up. Disappointed to read in other comments that this is perennial and will come back. 😫
Did you say "nut busting twerk" 😂🤣
I bought one in 2019 while I lived in Wyoming and it was a workhorse! I moved to Tx this year and my batteries don’t last but a few minutes. I have always used the large 12 batteries. What can I do to help the battery last longer? I have heard the new batteries are really bad. What battery do I need to get, or do I need to buy a new unit?
Have you had the batteries a long time? I believe Milwaukee has a 3-year warranty on them. I would go that route first.
I’ve had them since 2019. Is it true about the new large batteries won’t run long anymore? Should I buy the 8, or what do you suggest?
@@Suze316 if you use it for a long time, go with the 12.0’s. But if weight is an issue, the lighter 8.0 will work great.
Thank you for the video
At 70, I'm not worried about getting cancer from this.
😂
It leaks at attachments
I doesn't break 100 ft/lbs. Especially with that pinner m12 batt. 550 ft/lbs is a straight up lie... maybe 550 inch/lbs
I’m gonna do a follow-up video and try to test the 550ft-lb claim.
It's already been tested outside of Milwaukee. It actually busts beyond 550ftlbs at 600ftlbs instead.
The future is now old man
You don't know what you're talking about
Wronggggggggg
Backyard dirt, Trussville Alabama. What seed is good for hot summer with tree shade.
Diarrhea
💩
Is this toxic for pets?
You need to keep people and pets out of the treated area until it’s dry.
Will this also kill Johnson Grass on a standard US lawn?
Is this safe for centipede grass?
Will Sedgehammer hurt any plants, bushes, shrubs, etc, if it comes in contact when spraying the nutsedge?
I have the same question. We have this grass growing on my flower bed. Not sure if it will kill my flowers.
My biggest concern is always run time, and cost of extra batteries! I recently bought a Milwaukee M18 brushcutter, it works fine, but runtime is poor. I generally have to finish jobs with my Husqvarna 535LK! Blowers are the biggest energy consuming tools you can own. My Husqvarna 580BTS runs for at least an hour on full throttle per tank. The high output batteries are ridiculously expensive in the UK!
Where do you by it?
@@theodorejones6549 shrsl.com/2hyi3
Brilliant mower but two things that I noticed, one is the weight- it's really heavy if you need to lift it by hand! Second, it pulls a fraction to the left on mine so it's impossible to keep a straight strip, not a huge thing but it's a little annoying. Loads power and overall great machine, definitely recommend it...
Empero is a generic SedgeHammer. You can also use Sedge Ender. Both work great.
Blindside works much better
@@TJoePeter blindside is good and controls way more weeds. But it’s not labeled for Perennial Ryegrass 😩.
I recently purchased the M18 brushcutter, run time is my only complaint. I get about 20 minutes from each 8.o battery, was looking at getting a couple of 12.o batteries, but in the UK, that's almost £500! 😮
@@tgsgardenmaintenance4627 yeah, seems like with anything battery powered, run time is always going to be an issue. Lots of companies (including Milwaukee) are coming up with faster charging solutions to help combat the issue. I find that having two (or even 3) sets of batteries with their supercharger helps. Batteries are insanely expensive though.
@@TheLawngineer. With regards to the batteries, is there a big difference between the 12.o high output and the 12.o Forge, other than price?
@@tgsgardenmaintenance4627 I’m not sure yet, I haven’t really looked into it. It’s still a 18 volt pack and 12 ah. So I’d think the power and runtime would be exactly the same. But perhaps there are some other things built into the new battery that improves charging. Might just be marketing too. 🤷♂️
@TheLawngineer . For the price of the bigger output batteries, and the cost of the machine itself in the kit form, I could have purchased the Husqvarna 555RXT, which is what I really wanted! Live and learn I guess!!
@@tgsgardenmaintenance4627 check out this video at the 29:00 mark. Does a good job explaining what’s different about the new battery: m.kzread.infoCqQe1spBl18?si=UH5P3N6MUcD6gbPa
