St Augustine Grass Tips for June and July

[@stevebrandt3645]

"The first rule of Root Club is: You do not talk about Root Club!" :)

[@JoeChewBaca]

My Dad's house in San Jose had St. Augustine lawn. When I moved to Sacramento he gave me a bag of stolens that I planted at that house and they grew up beautifully(I hope the new owners appreciate it) in the front yard.... the larger back yard was much more of a challenge, but it was growing! Now I'm in a new house and need to get my hands on some stolens to see if I can get it to grow here in a MUCH smaller area. Lots of area, just a smaller lawn section.

[@BangBang504]

I love to skip out on work just to work out, cut my lawn, smoke pot, and play call of duty. In that order but then my wife comes home at 5pm and party is over 😢

[@kermitefrog64]

You must be in Florida. In California we haven't had much rain and the St. Augustine is doing better than the other grass species but it is also struggling.

[@bryanholder1329]

With my “aggressive runners” that float over top of all the others I cut them off and transplant them to areas where I am combating an evasive weed, bare spots, or rough soil conditions. They seem to take root better, knock out the weeds faster and build patches that are thicker and denser than where they cane from in the first place. It has worked really well for me so far. They seem to already be used to the soil conditions so they make it a home easily, they are already in the “rapid recovery mode” so they send out more shoots and roots. I plant them in straight line rows a couple inches apart. With survey flags mapping the area so I don’t mow that section for a couple weeks for better rooting. Then I will mow that section only every two days or three depending on weather. It has worked wonderfully for me.

Best time of the year and temperatures to install new at agustine sod? Thanks in advance.

[@Tomcoker1952]

Hey Allen, I am in the panhandle of Fl. Sodded 4 pallets of Palmetto St Augustine in March, have used your slow release fert 3 times and lawn is in great shape. My irrigation timer is set to water three zones for 20 min, three times a day. Question 1; should I start weaning off water, oh I have a well so no water restriction issues, and just go for 1/2” 3 times per week? Question 2, I just treated for brown spot. It just started about 3 days ago. Should I treat for stress? Thanks and I am subscribed .

[@Thelawncarenut]

I would back it down to 1x per day, 4x per week and get down a good 1/2" of water in each cycle. That may take 20 min, or it may take 45 min depending on the zone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWTQi2yibbKkiqs

Where can I get the st. Augustine grass?

[@wesp2537]

Recent subscriber here and i put down ste augustine sod about a month ago, i did my first cut about a week ago as well. Now that the lawn is beginning to established itself nicely, I've noticed some signs of diseases. I've watched a few of your videos and i dug and found some grubs. Sorry for the long read but i have two questions. 1 What would be the best grub control and or killer? 2. What would be the best way to level the yard?

[@Miiiiiikeyy]

Like the Bob Ross of lawn care. Not even close to where St Aug can grow but I can watch all day……so calming to a LCN 😌

One more question. When is the best time to apply liquid iron to my St. Augustine grass?

[@426superbee4]

The only 2 grasses i dearly love is ? St. Augustine and Centipede Grass, and i mix them 👍 There both Freeze, dough, disease, resistant and don't need fertilizer either. IT don't get over 10" tall > I mow only once a month, while every one else is mowing 2 times a week. Trying to look as nice as my yard. I'am saving on gas, wear at tear, saving on water, wearing my self out. They both do good in shade or full sun either one ! There is a slight different! Centipede grows shorter and a little lighter green, while St. Augustine is a darker green, and grows a little bit taller. > BEST GRASSES EVER 👍

[@kingbabarkhan]

Do you have a video on how to level a “St Augustine grass lawns”

[@carlosenriquez2092]

You are way more advanced than we are we call them runners. I collected over one hundred of them and gave them to my neighbor. He chucked them in the yard dumped a bag of potting soil over them had his boy to water them every evening. Everyone of them things took . Three years later after doing this dozens of times his entire yard is as good as mine.

Unrelated question. Anyone is welcome to reply. I live in Virginia and this is my second season trying to grow a Bermuda lawn. As a newbie last year I was treating my lawn for, what I thought was, crabgrass. However, this year I believe I have identified it as being Bahia grass. My question is, do they sell anything besides Metsulfuron Methyl that would remove the Bahia. I know MSM is very strong and I'm concerned that I could harm the Bermuda.

[@forrestmiller9814]

I am in Socal. First time homeowner. Trying to get my front yard healthy again, and I just tore up my backyard to start from scratch. Dirt at my house is super compacted. I couldn't even get an Augur down into it in order to plant St. A Patches. I had to rent a tiller and get this dirt turned over. Added some soil conditioner and tried lying out some patches. All the patches are have some form of shade are doing great. The other ones are struggling because it's just too hot out here. I just picked up some Stress blend, and the freedom bundle with the liquid stuff you got in there. I also added the Ironite, and then some of the Turf builder a few weeks later. It's helping but I still have insanely yellow patches in my front yard. I need help! ha

I'm in the pacific northwest (PNW) area, a little south from Seattle, and in my area, I get a lot of rain along with relatively cool summer. This is nice for having a great lawn but it comes with the price of having all kinds of fungus. I've been applying both azoxystrobin and propiconazole, and I want to ask if I can throw in this Clearys 3336F into the cocktail of cure for fungus?

That’s an amazing lawn, makes me jealous because here in Los Angeles County and the rest of the state we’re in a severe drought so I can barely keep my St Augustine alive. Plus having a green lawn is a tell tale sign to the neighborhood that you are not being a good citizen. 😞

Man, I bought a house back in October in the mountains just south of Huntsville, AL. 33,000 sq. ft. of...green. Not grass, mind you; just green. I THINK there's some grass in there somewhere. What kind? Yes. All of them. None of them? I really don't know. I got the clover down to a fraction of what it used to be. The dollarweed is only covering about 60% of the lawn now, instead of 90%, but there's still some large areas that are basically entirely dollarweed. There's also large patches of grayish-blue-green "grass." Looks kinda like some sort of grass. Can't identify it. The kicker? Irrigation: Rain. No way to install an irrigation system without tens of thousands of dollars worth of work. Shade: All tree-related shade is the result of trees in neighboring properties. It's the country; people don't trim trees around here, and some of the problem areas are a direct result of shade from specific trees. Fungus? Yup. Mold? Yup. Thatch? Yup. (Can't do anything about that, as all the local rental places no longer carry dethatchers, 'cause no one was renting them...) Flooded areas? Yup. Dry areas? Yup. I want to fix it. It doesn't need to be perfect. Hell, I'd settle for 60% grass or grass-like plants. But there's just so much going on over such a large area, I don't even know where to begin. There's so many different "biomes" across the 2/3rds of an acre, that I really don't think there's one solution, and it's way too large an area to experiment without wasting heaps of money. I'm about ready to throw in the towel and call in a professional. :(

[@rross5843]

A reel mower should not be used on a St Aug yard?

[@jbm0745]

My understanding is the reason lawn St. Augustine seeds aren’t viable is because they are commercially reproduced hybrids. But wild non hybridized St. Augustine grass does produce viable seeds.

[@Jam-rq3sj]

DO NOT water every day if it’s dry in the summer. 2x/wk preferably .75” of water each watering. I run a commercial lawn and pest company. The lawns that water every day or excessively are ALWAYS the ones with a ton of weeds and disease. Good advice on a few things but watering everyday is not good.

[@426superbee4]

You can take the runners and plant them into the shade and it will start off , How? is take a shovel and step on it into the ground, take a runner poke down into the shovel slice and step on it to pack it. its best to plant the runners in a shade to get them to take off ~ That how i cover 22 acers by planting the runners ~ Sure it took me 5 years to get full coverage. But look how much i save from buying seeds. If you take a look at a runner 7:05 ~ each section has roots sticking out ~ So its easy to transplant and its faster than seeds and > Less watering ! ~ So every time i trim my side walks > i save the runners into a 5 gallon bucket, and transplant them under a tree or shade. To make them easier to start off

[@AmericanConstellation]

Ok....so please answer this question. It's kinda like what came first...the chicken or the egg. So where did St. Augustine grass come from?

[@thekaduu]

Seriously now... FRAC (Fungicide Resistance Action Committee) labels Group 1 fungicides as "high risk" for fungi resistance. Same for Group 11 which includes but not limited to Azoxystrobin. Group 3 is medium risk (Propiconazole and others)... Also, it best to rotate between fungicides with different mode of action. I am in the process of determining combinations of fungicides for 1) Lower risk of resistance and 2) Bang for buck...
