First summer at the new house. Man did it fill in.
Old lawn, but was covered in leaves all winter.

Didn’t know what I’d have. Sprayed for weeds and fertilized of course.

Post your pics!!

Tall thick St Aug is amazing

Dark, thick, and 4.5 inches is best

Mine is pale, on the thin side, and 6 inches at it's best. Oh, wait, were we talking about grass?

Beautiful lawn. I want to walk barefoot through it.

like posting a pic with my shirt off......I'll sit this one out

My St. Aug is struggling with brown spot and I noticed sod wed worm moths yesterday a/n. I'll be spraying for them this afternoon.

Your yard looks great, keep up the good fight of babying the fragile St. Aug. she'll reward you.

This was right after I did core aeration.

My lawn is far from perfect, but I’m working at it.

That looks great. I have a mix of grass types and I’m anxious for the St Aug to take over.

I have a sprinkler head that blew out and sends a heavy geyser if water during the watering cycle. You ought to have seen the St Aug around that sprinkler head before I cut it. It almost stopped the mower.

Yep, I didn’t pre-em this year. But will definitely be getting on it starting in the fall. I sprayed posts like crazy this year and still feel like I’m losing.

Do you have msm or Celsius? I see white clover as well

That picture is a couple months old. I’ve been spot spraying with MSM frequently.

Pillage-please share your msm mixture. I’m on the fence. Thanks

Starting to use it. I feel confident with topshot but haven’t tried msm turf yet because I just want to spot spray it.

Been using 0.2 grams per gallon to spot treat. Read that on a lawn forum. Don’t remember which one. It has been effective. I just always seem to have new weeds popping up.

Front yard is centipede. My backyard is St. Aug. I’ll have to get a pic after I cut it tomorrow.

Msm is very cost effective for treating weeds. Pillage posted the correct fill. On one of these threads I posted a full fill chart.
