CENTIPEDE GRASS SUMMER CARE

[@gamecock-mk5zb]

Awesome to finally have someone to educate us on centipede grass from this perspective. I recently discovered you and will be following from now on for sure. Info thats sure to help me out on my lawn. Much appreciated.

[@yardmama3660]

gamecock2122 thank you so much. I’m new here , but still find it hard to get s lot of info on Centipede. Most lawn care experts don’t know that much or don’t post that much about it. Thanks for watching . I’m just here to help!

[@gamecock-mk5zb]

@@yardmama3660 I'm so glad you decided to share your experiences, it's been truly helpful to me and my lawn. Love the way you present. I'll await your next video anxiously. Again many thanks to you.

Nice to hear info from this side of the world!!! Good work.. Thanks!!

[@yardmama3660]

Ricky Bellard definitely a minority in the YT turf world!

[@tomcost333]

Very informative. I’ve been over fertilizing for the past two years. This year it grew back very slow and thin. It looks a lot better now. I’ll remember these tips for the future.

[@yardmama3660]

T.C. The Trucker awesome to hear! And lots less work! I’ve only mowed once this season. Thanks for watching and save that money!

I appreciate the advice, and it didn't hurt my feelings at all that it came from an attractive woman. Thanks!

Awh thank you!🙂🙂♥️♥️

Nice to find information on centipede lawn from someone that actually has one and is in my neck of the country! I have bare spots and seeing a lot of runners now in April but they aren’t making roots from the stolons. Its like they are floating on top of the ground. How do I get them to make roots on the new growth?

[@garretsloan5990]

Excellent centipede yard!

[@yardmama3660]

Thanks!😊

[@CookingwithKrys]

Thank you for this video. Do you have any tips for a centipede lawn that has been neglected, has a lot of weeds and some bare spots?

[@timothybrady1174]

Wow! You know I stumbled on one of your other videos in my quest to find out how to save my centipede. I was ready to give up. I'm watching this and have hope. Want to come to NC and save my yard!!?? :) I am going to have to go back and watch more. We moved in last summer and the yard just looks like garbage and I envy what you have. I now know what's possible.

[@yardmama3660]

Well you, Timothy, just made my morning! Trust me. If I can do it- anyone can!!! Good luck and thank you for watching a mama’s video.♥️

[@timothybrady1174]

@@yardmama3660 I am going to do my best. I'm going to start going through all your videos every chance I can to see how you did it. It's the focus of my spring/summer but I know patience is going to be key. I just want to go out there and dump a bunch of chemicals but at least now I know that's not the best idea.

[@yardmama3660]

Yard Mama your grass is beautiful, we have centipede as well but on sand under our sod. We going to top dress with some black kow because the Scott's southern lawns burned our lawn this spring. Your thoughts?

[@yardmama3660]

Thank you. What specifically is your purpose? Thats a great brand. Compost?

[@teevestj7512]

I'm want to feed my grass the much needed organic material instead of the synthetic fertilizers from Scott's.....

[@19691969roadrunner]

Chicken crumbles Chicken feed from Tractor Supply works well.

[@yardmama3660]

@@teevestj7512 sorry. Just seeing this. That sounds good. I rarely use synthetics. I’ve used organic Espoma to feed my grass. Let me know how it turned out!

Centipede grass is the absolute best if you treat it right

[@kodiakcleanpressurewashing9044]

Gosh I never have seen centipede that nice. I have aerated and dethatchded my lawn but I can’t let mine get that long because it looks bad and is uneven. I just laid down some topsoil/premix all over the yard to try and help that lawn. I’m not sure what to do

[@haleighlaverty2061]

Hey!! I love your videos. Thank you for giving us so much information. Keep it going please!! I’m in Charleston. Have you ever used cotton burr compost to treat dead thatchy spots? I’ve been renovating our lawn and dethatched (3 times) scarified and overseeded! Topdressed spots that were bald or dried dead patches with that compost and in one week my grass runners filled it up!! What type of iron treatment would you recommend? I have some granular iron tone but it’s garden...idk if I can add it to my grass...

[@yardmama3660]

Haleigh Laverty hey there! Thanks for watching! I have not, but have used compost in my beds. Thai is interesting though. I took this season off due to a sudden death in my family, but will start back at some point. I’ll check that out. I’ve only used chelates iron, but want to experiment with other types. Just be careful with centipede bc it’s way better to underdo than to overdo! You can test spot a small area and try that iron on turf. Probably fine.

[@cashrules520]

Good video.. I'm a new homeowner, I thought I had Bermuda grass 😂🤣🤷🏾‍♂️ , I only found out after looking at some sods.. I found a 50lb bag of centipede grass fertilizer for $16.95 at a local seed store. Has low nitrogen 2% Iron

[@yardmama3660]

Cash Rules that sounds like a good price! Don’t feel bad. When I first moved in, I thought the Bermuda that crept in was a weed. I was CLUELESS!!

[@TheGermanation]

What are those beautiful tall red flowers by the street called? Wow! Also when you say water the lawn for an hour, does that mean one hour in each section of grass or one hour for the entire sprinkler cycle?

[@yardmama3660]

SS cannas! Easiest thing in the world to grow and they are perennials! 👍🏻

So how does my view count get cut in half overnight???

[@jenniferherzog8718]

Yard Mama There's a long-time issue with view count lag with YT. It's been that way for YEARS, so probably shouldn't expect a fix any time soon. Once your video is up a few days to a week (at least with the super popular channels it's this way) it'll level out and be accurate.

[@yardmama3660]

Jennifer Herzog it’s really weird. My count was over 50, then it goes down to like 20 overnight .

[@Caf1972]

What's your cure for Kyllinga? Thanks MaMa.

[@yardmama3660]

BigFish1972 the bane of my turf existence. Halsofuron (Sedgehammer )is probably best. Ortho does have a new product out in a green bottle that lots of ppl love, but don’t think it’s as gentle on grass as SH and doesn’t cover much footage. As I said in this video, I have used imazaquin ( Image) that is probably less effective, but can be applied at any time and it’s efficacy isn’t dependent on the stage of the weed. I’m experimenting with different products now, but at this point, seems that SH is winning.

[@Caf1972]

@@yardmama3660 I used Image on it and it died back, but grew back again.

I’ve been watching all your videos getting AWESOME tips to help our centipede lawn and just realized in this video we live in the same neighborhood 😂 small world. Im going to leave it alone until early spring so hopefully it will look better when we can put the tips to use 😫 we really made a mistake using Scott’s weed and feed. We have ugly dark green stripes and patches right now 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@cashrules520]

Dont feel bad I bought their southern weed and feed, was using milogranite which has the phosphate component that centipede grass doesnt like

SOUTHERN grasses, not SUMMER grasses.

[@gilbertdixon64]

Yard Mama, What can I put on my centipede grass to help with green/yellow spots? Should I add a little fertilizer?

[@yardmama3660]

Gilbert Dixon not sure what the temps are there, but I don’t apply fert ( or much of anything else ) in August temperatures. Green spots might be due to spillage of organic fertilizer or animal urine if it’s yellow in the center. Fert won’t help that. Yellow grass might be due to application of herbicides. Any fertilizer not applied evenly will leave your yard spotty. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.❤️

[@gilbertdixon64]

@@yardmama3660 The temperature in South Carolina this week have been in the low 80s with overcast. I haven't fertilized since April. Could it be possible my yard doesn't have enough nitrogen in those in the area?

[@yardmama3660]

Gilbert Dixon gotcha. I doubt it. If you put iron out and missed an area, that might cause that. I haven’t put anything out this season, but I’ve noticed two green spots. One mysteriously appeared the only time I had to hire someone to come out due to an injury- still don’t know what caused that and one more green spot on other side of yard. I have wondered if somehow ant killer could have done that. It’s really weird. Chlorosis or yellowing can occur when your grass is iron deficient or you have nutrient lockup preventing the uptake of iron. Not sure I’ve been any help. I would definitely get a soil test either now or next year.

[@gilbertdixon64]

@@yardmama3660 I have a seeding question for you, when is the best time to seed my lawn? Should I seed in the fall or spring? Also, should I overseed?
