  Lived in one house in the Houston area with a St Augustine yard for 12 years. It was a super thick carpet of something between a forest and emerald green. Other than mulch mowing it, we did jack all to it. No fertilizer. Hardly ever watered it. Except maybe when we did the slip-n-slide thing. Or that Fun Fountain clown thing. The only area we ever had die back was under a tire-swing. That yard seemed pretty indestructible with 6 kids plus neighborhood kids thrashing about. I'm at a loss for why you lawn guys seem to describe St Augustine as more or less delicate. Come to think of it. We also more of less didn't have any weed problems. But then again. You had to pry apart the 1/4 inch root shield under the grass blades to get to soil. That probably wasn't conducive to weeds. So maybe the yard flooding that seemed to happen every 3 to 4 years or so had something to do with it. Replenished a lot of nutrients in the soil or something? Honestly, no clue. But that yard defies most of what I hear about St. Augustine.

  Question I placed some tuna cans and on my lawn and I have half way of water in them so does that mean I only had to water my lawn 2 a week

• 
  @donslawns112 күн бұрын

  The point of the tuna cans is to help you determine how long it takes to get that amount of water applied. Then you’ll know how frequently to water to get the desired amount. You can also place the cans into different locations in the lawn to make sure you get an even application. Best of luck!

  The soaking method doesn't seem to work for me. It seems the runners have an expire time if they don't root. I am trying to plant fresh runners that are already rooting and keeping them watered. Still slow, but I think they are living. We had a big rain that seemed to prompt fresh runners. I grabbed those.

  Bermuda is good but if you keep it short. If you let it grow more than an inch it will pollinate and if you are allergic to pollen it can make you miserable for days. Bag the clippings. Zoisia not drought resistant but also is better for the allergic it pollinates after 2 inches then you are sol.

  This is an new post from an older video. I'm gonna speak from Experience (I live in Georgia). I started with about a 3'-4' circumference kind of bare patch, and My runners that I planted from less than 20 runner's, have aggressively taken over a Huge yard!! This guy don, wasted a Lot of time. Where he pulled & cut the runners in that patch & replanted it ... All you have to do is leave it attached to the existing runner (still planted in the ground & redirect the loose end, back in to the soil). Don't cut, or dig it up! Just cover the roots! You can loosen the soil a bit with a pitch fork, by just jabbing some holes in the soil. But, you don't have to go to This extreme! Make sure the runners that you use have roots. The roots have to be intact with the soil - just dig a slitted trench, to fit the roots in & cover them! That's it! Also, run the new piece under an intact piece, that's already rooted good (to keep it attached to the soil). Same thing if you take the rooted runner to another area of your yard! Keep the area moist; Don't use chemicals. St. Augustine is Highly Sensitive. That's WHY the existing grass & the New, is yellow & brown. That's Not a good sign! There is Nothing needed except water! I'm starting on my 5th yard this year (for other's), all from the runner's that I pull from my Own yard!! I intentionally let the runners go over the curb, so they create roots. I cut a section that has 2-3 roots, and that's what I use to plant elsewhere. I originally redirected it in my own yard, but it's more that healthy & full!! If you cut sections off & put them in shallow water, the roots can get really long (but sometimes it's too much to work with).

  I recently purchased a home and they put down st. Augustine and then we had a drought so watering was restricted, and I think somehow Bermuda was either in the ground previously or something, but it seems like the Bermuda has over taken the back yard, but not the front yard. I’m new to this so I thought it was weeds initially, but after research I see it’s Bermuda. Idk if I should just buy Bermuda seeds and spread them without the wife knowing or just keep watering and occasionally fertilize. Idk what to do but my new yard needs work.
