re: Zoysia overtake centipede

For the record, I didn’t think I hated anything more than Dallisgrass but torpedo grass has taken that spot.

No kidding. Torpedo is the worst. Glyphosate might knock it back some, but that stuff is the herpes of weeds. At least Celsius will suppress Dallis grass if you keep spraying it. You can dig it up. It might come back next year, but at least you don’t see it for awhile. Zoysia makes a nice yard. Totally understand not wanting to fork out the money on sodding again because zoysia is expensive. I think there are only a couple of zoysia seeds available. Zenith is what I believe I have. I forgot I planted it back there and thought it was centipede. Upon closer observation this spring I was surprised how much of that was spreading out. It’s not fast growing at first, but it sure chokes out weeds and other grasses. Even my Tifway 419 is getting overrun by that zoysia. I wouldn’t be surprised if my entire backyard isn’t zoysia in 1-2 years.
