I figured they would eat the nutgrass but they won't touch it.

It is a really nice yard!


St. Augustine likes shade too, in there are two oak tree's in our front yard, and the st Augustine has expanded to the border of the shade the tree's provide.

I bought my house a year and a half ago. I have 8 foot beds around my house that were in bad shape. I thought I had it fixed and was planning on moving to my yard this spring but the winter storm changed my plans. Oh well. Maybe next year. Y'alls yards look great.

I generally give my lawn a lick and a promise, but I mowed it today as if company was coming. Pass the Advil please.

I've been shipping stuff to my office and backdooring it to the garage. If she ever opens my fertilizer/chemical cabinet she'll probably make me buy her a Louis Vuitton or something to even everything out.

I'll check on them tonight. They weren't out this morning. I need to go to Walmart and buy them some worms. They love eating slugs and warms.

D-man has my lawn headed in the right direction. I need to just start mowing it myself now to alternate patterns/paths.
Won’t be long before it’s perfect. I need to bite the bullet and do a much larger area around my lil tree for more flowers.
This looks pathetic and I’ve always hated it

I'm not married to any brand. I taylor to my soil test and soil Ph then source what I can at the best price. My soil Ph is 7.7 and I'm low in P and K. So I'm using APF (American Plant Food) 13-13-13 with the Nitrogen source in that as Ammonium Sulfate(AMS), which is somewhat helping me fight my high Ph. I get it local for about $18.00 for 50lbs. Pretty sure Lone Star Feed/Fertilizer is a private label APF as APF does a lot of private label products. Lone Star has a ton of locations mostly East of I-45. Without a soil test I would run a 1-1-1 like 10-10-10,13-13-13 or a 3-1-2 like 15-5-10. Apf has a product called K8 and Lone Star's is called Super Turf and Russel Feed in the Ft. Worth area has similar product called Nutra grow. Those are all a 3-1-2 with added mirco nutrients. Those three I just mentioned would be a pretty solid choice for just about anyone to go with.

Derek,,,

Got a question. 2 weeks ago we laid Tif419 sod. Then the endless rain started. My yard has always been slow to drain in the are we laid sod. The sod is looking great, but also showing signs of algae. What, if anything will all this water hurt and is there a remedy other than wait on the sun? I really don’t want to lose 4,000 feet of sod due to rot.
