I dumped 2 bags of Rye grass on it at the beginning of each winter just to make it look nice. Grows great! At least something will grow!

Rye is fricken awesome, wish there was something similar which could survive our summers. Gonna be a rich SOB who figures that out in the future.

This could be part of your problem. Rye grass hangs around til June ish in my area. Centipede and st augustine should be fully greened up by April. That means your rye has been competing with your other grasses for sunlight, nutrients, water. That is why it’s not reccomended to overseed warm season grasses.

You need to thin the canopy as much as possible and promote the st augustine. It’s about the only thing with a chance.
