Hi Chad. I live in Tampa and have problems in my St. Augustine lawn this summer: gray leaf spot, weeds, and empty patches as result of the fungus. I initially thought the fungus was lack of water and increased irrigation, which after watching your videos, I learned that my action made my problem worse. Thank you for the education. Right now, I'm ready to tackle the problems but need advice on sequencing of products. My plan is: 1. Apply fungicide group 11 across the lawn 2. After 14 days, apply an alternate fungicide (group 1) 3. After 14 days, apply again the fungicide group 11 4. After 14 days, apply again the fungicide group 1 5. Wait 14 days, and apply post-emergent herbicide in the trouble spots (at this point, it will be almost mid-November) 6. Wait 7 days, and fertilize the lawn 7. Wait 7 days, and apply micronutrients 8. Wait 7 days, and apply a pre-emergent for Winter (at this point, it will be mid-December) During this process, I will mow high (4 inches), always bagging the clips. I wanted your advice to confirm I'm on the right path, products sequence and time with this strategy. Would you share if you recommend a different approach? Thank you!
@bettercallchadd
@bettercallchadd Жыл бұрын
I like the plan. If your fungicide works after the first two, there is no need to do more treatments. As long as the fungus is gone. Your weed control and fertilization program is great.

I watch your video "best lawn Program for St. Augustine" and found it to be most informative, but I still, need a lot more knowledge to maintain a St. Augustine lawn, I thank you for your video and all the info in it, I will be watching other videos of yours to learn more on St. Augustine lawns and how to get the best results.

Hi Chad. I communicated with you about a year ago. I sent pics of my disaster and you gave me some good pointers and encouragement. Things were looking better until recently. I ended up with a problem with Bermuda invasion in my St Augustine grass in Central Florida. A new house was built next door about 2 yrs ago. I have a lawn service, but they didn't alert me to the 'invasion' and I didn't know what it was until it got pretty out of control on that side of the house. I've been in the process of 'healing' my lawn for the last 2 years, so it wasn't in great shape to begin with on that side of the house. Anyway, I'm killing off that side of the lawn with glysophate and am replacing it with St Augustine Provista. I also have 2 other areas I'm resodding. The sod will be planted by mid-Aug. The fellow that's laying the sod says I don't really need to add anything to the soil-just kill off that side of the yard and till it. I purchased a liquid soil activator product that is .50% magnesium, .10% iron and .05% zinc. Do you think it's a good idea to use this as a soil prep or use it after the sod is put down? If so who long after? Or not at all? Once the sod is put down, how long before I treat it-weed/feed, etc. It looks like the Sunniland professional 16-0-8 might be a good product for me to use. What do you think? Thanks for all your help. I love your videos. I'm about to cancel the lawn service (I cut and trim myself, anyway. They were only for weed and feed, which obviously failed to some extent.) I'm a little nervous but hope to implement your calendar in the new year. Just need to get to January without any more disasters, especially regarding my new sod🙂

I am in Fernandina Beach. St Augustine and currently I have a mix of brown and green grass . I tried two different companies for lawn care in the 6 years I have lived here but my grass was never as green as my neighbors. I fired them and tried Scotts Max and it really provided green thick grass. After watching your videos I assume I should not use it. I need to find a good emergent and look for a different fertilizer.

Hi Chad, I am a single disabled female having to finance someone to do my lawn; therefore, I want to do it right! I love the way you have broken everything down it is very understandable. However, I live in Texas. Can you direct me with how and when to apply the lawn program for my yard? I have downloaded my calendar and have sectioned into 6 areas as you have shown in the video here. I have new St. Augustine sod that was planted about 2 months ago and it is doing wonderful; however, I see some of the old grass (Bermuda) trying to creep through and take over. I fertilized with Sunniland about a month ago. Do I need to put down some Scotts turf builder weed and feed? Thanks in advance for your guidance and support - Sharon

Hi Chad, I applied a 4-0-5 fertilizer that the garden center said would be good for my st Augustine grass, but seeing your video I’m thinking the first and last numbers should be higher for better growth. I do see some growth in the lawn but I’m thinking it needs more. Some areas are light brown and some weeds. Should I apply a 20-2-11 over top of the 4-0-5 ? Thank you for any help 🙏

That is not nearly enough for the spring time. That would be a good summer feed. A nice light feed in the summer time is good. But in the spring you want to wake the grass up. As long as it's been 3 weeks since the 4 0 5 go ahead and the 20 2 11.

Yes bad and compacted soil. Very common in new builds. You need to aerate and top dress the lawn. Atleast areate. Please check out some of my other videos. I adress this issue in many times in some of my other videos. Thanks for reaching out.

Hi Chad, I live in Jax and appreciate the video. I plan on implementing the broad program you've outlined. I have a few questions though. In the first application of Potassium and Pre-emergent, should the Potassium be applied in late Jan and Pre-emergent in late Feb? What are the macros for the 1st application? Should Nitrogen and Phosphorous be zero and how high of a Potassium # can I go? Thanks again..
@bettercallchadd
@bettercallchadd 2 жыл бұрын
Yes for when the potassium and pre emergent should be applied. Yes no Nitergeon or phosphorous for the first application. The only macro should be potassium. Feel free though to add micros. Micros are good year around.

Pull it. You have some herbicides that can stress it out but not fully kill it. Best it to pull it and thicken up the lawn in that area.

Great video! Really needed this. Do you have a recommended pre-emergent for St Augustine in the Tampa area?

@natewalls4850 3 жыл бұрын
@R G Only really 2 types of pre-emergent chemical Make-up available for turf grass, either prodiamine or dithiopyr, their either available as a WDG (water dispersive granule, something you’d use a backpack sprayer to apply) or as a granular product usually attached to some sort of K (potassium) granule.

Nate is on point. The timing and good coverage is most important. For a homeowner I also recommend granular. You can find fertilizer with pre emergent in it as well. Hope this helps!!!

Update,.. I found it.. The N-P-K analysis for Milorganite, for example, is 6-4-0: 6% nitrogen; 4% phosphorus; and, 0% potassium, indicating there is less than 1% potassium.
