I usually pick up about 9 bags of sand and 3 of...

I've commented several times that there is no company in south Louisiana that really gives a shite about quality dirt, compost, sand, soil, etc.

That's certainly a slug fest.
If you're cool with having them all, mow at a moderate height of 2.5 to 3.5" That way your St Aug will stay healthy. The bermuda won't be healthy at those levels but it will prevent it from taking over. ...

Even added Nyguard about 6 weeks ago.
Well, the bitches are back!
