To make beautiful sedge, people have to work hard. First is weeding, the grower must pull out all the grass and mainly the reeds, because when fertilizing the whole field with nitrogen, but still the reeds, they will absorb all the fertilizer and grow very quickly. Then, around June to September every year ( summer ), people harvest, at that time the sedge has grown very quickly and is about 1.7 m to 1.8 m high. People use a special sickle that is only available in the sedge region to cut. The sickle is shaped like the number 7 , forged with very good steel .
