[@justinwebster4181]

Allyn, I have a new construction house on 5 acres In Clermont. I am going to be seeding the whole thing with Argentine Bahia. I have heavy equipment for leveling and prep. It would be the perfect test bed for your Bahia Journey. I have to get this whole thing seeded one way or another. Would be fun to have you along for the journey and have another battle with seeding Bahia for the followers out here.

[@artieartya]

Just like how you’re talking about areas where you sprayed for weed control that aren’t growing where they’re much shorter than other areas. I have something similar right around the outer base of the palm tree. It looks like it’s a walking path but I think it’s from just the water that rolls down the palm fronds in a perfect circle around the palm tree matting out the grass. Can you confirm this?

Good morning Allyn- Speaking of patching St. Aug spots, I took your advice from a few months ago, and grabbed some Bethel Sod Farm plugs- 48 actually- for bad spots in my front and back yards (watering restrictions now at 1 day per week in Pinellas County until July, so I didn’t think I could keep sod alive) BUT MAN ARE THOSE PLUGS SYLVESTER STOLON HEROES! Thriving just like yours. Thanks for the guidance.

Love the Ego products...except their batteries suck. Im lucky to get 2 yrs on my weed whacker and blower batts. And I am anal about not leaving them on a charger. I do have 2 acres I maintain so they get used heavily. But I will say with batteries being 80% of the cost of a weed whacker/blower...I went back to gas.

[@joec.3795]

If I had to use a grass killer to nuke a 3ft by 3ft area of Bermuda how long should I wait until I sod that area or will I be able to that season? The Recognition seems so pricy for the small areas I have. I am considering the Recognition though as my neighbor has bermuda and I have St. Augustine. Our property line is starting to get mixed and I'm ready to spray a straight line.

Pro tip when using these electric edgers. If you get sweaty, it'll drip ino the crack where the interlick and trigger is and WILL corrode the circuitry inside ruining yr machine. So cover that area wih plastic bags tied around the handle & trigger. Looks crappie but it will save yr equipment!

I made so much dirt pulling weeds and picking up grass and the leaves never end its almost like try to add as much green as you can and you can still keep going solid 6-8ft tall by 15ft long bed of compost just fill in wherever and add grass seedmix it all up water it in heavy and it grows like crazy water in the morning moderate and it will warm up then water at night too cause cool germination

[@pughconsulting]

I've been using the Roundup for Lawns for the last two seasons. It's hard to find this year for some reason. I got it at Ace. One Lowe's had it. It was sold out or out of stock at all the local Home Depots. I've had good success with dollar weed and a few other common weeds. It turns the dollar weed yellow in about 3-4 days. It's never hurt my St. Augustine grass. I wouldn't hesitate to use Image either.

[@richardmcintosh435]

I’ve never seen Bahia look like that.

@@Thelawncarenut wide open. Only one young live oak tree. It just doesn’t want to grow. Certain parts grow well and are nice and full. The middle of the backyard is a yellowish green and growing very little, if at all. I have been using the yard mastery app and following the calendar for the products apply. I’m thinking it’s poor drainage and compact soil, but not certain about either.

[@Thelawncarenut]

It is softer for sure.

[@CR-ow2wp]

Allyn, can you counteract the growth stunting of the Celsius by throwing down some nitrogen in that spot? Is that safe to do, or is it just best to let the Celsius growth stunting run its course naturally?

[@Thelawncarenut]

I'm sure it would help.

[@gregorysantos9188]

I've personally had some bad luck with Celsius, East Coast of Florida during two back to back summers. I'm very sure it's not an over application, I was very cautious to stick to the exact mix rate for 1gal (with surfactant), and just quickly wet the area with weeds. It was late summer, Sept, so temps were over 85F. My Floratam St. Aug took a hit, and stopped growing, similar to what Allyn showed in this video, and I tried to hit with some extra nitrogen, and it took a turn for the worse, and never really recovered. I think the nitrogen led to additional uptake of the chems into my St Aug, combined with regular stress from high heat and it overwhelmed it. Okay, it could be some other factor, like a fungus, but I'm going to steer away from Celsius, at least in this one specific area of my lawn. Also, my St Aug was treated with Arena for chinches so, so I don't think it was pests, couldn't find any evidence of that. I've had good success with Atrazine and Image for Souther Lawns, but these I apply in late Fall and early Spring.

[@CR-ow2wp]

@@gregorysantos9188 That's what I was worried about - adding nitrogen to try to counteract the herbicide may result in more damage and stunted growth, not less. It might just be best to let the herbicide run its course, keep the area well hydrated and then afterward apply some N to grow the grass after the weeds have been killed off.
