One review noted damage to their grass by summer and attributed it to the nematodes-- has anyone else had this issue?

I have applied multiple doses of nematoads(not all at the same time) and have not noticed anything wrong with my grass

I had no damage to my grass. I live in Florida and have St Augustine grass. No problems with the nematodes.

put out three weeks go, april 17th today, so far seems to stopped the moles and no bad side effects to the yard

Nematodes cannot damage grass. The grubs they attack do the damage, but the nematodes are very tiny and they don't eat plant matter.

Sorry I sprayed the soil before planting my grass, as I found many white grubs in the soil as I was preparing it.

There are a lot of nematodes in the world, but this species is an entomopathogenic nematode (meaning it only infects and kills insects).
211328
No, I doubt it was the nematodes. Follow the instructions and there should be no problems.

I haven't noticed any damage to the grass, as a matter of fact I am seeing improvement to the brown patches. I just ordered more to cover more square footage.

I used it last growing season, had no trouble with it. It did help the problem insects in my raised beds.

I'm sorry I can't help with that. I returned my Toro 3 weeks after buying it. There was a safety hazard, in my opinion. The grass bag kept falling off while I was mowing and I would slam my shins into it.

No, that isn't normal. I have used mine all summer and it never did that. I would contact the seller for a replacement.

I have not had a problem with that. The Bremuda grass is slowly going away after 2 applications. I hope to get 2 or 3 more aplpications in this season, then hit it hard in early spring.

I never experienced this issues in the 4 years I've owned this mower. That said, a couple of things to consider: The grass cutting height might be set too low and the blade may be coming in contact with the ground at times, especially if you have irregular or hilly terrain; you might be waiting too long to empty the bag and the cuttings are backing up and clogging things up in under side of the mower; make sure there is no dried up grass stuck to the underside of the mower, especially if you used it to cut wet grass; FYI, the blade that comes with the mower is a mulching blade. It can be used for bagging but a blade specifically designed for bagging will be much more efficient. If you switch to a bagging blade, I recommend you pay a little extra and get a Snapper replacement part rather than a generic replacement blade, as it will make the mower bag better. Lastly, you may want to try mulching instead of bagging. I bagged for years and years before trying mulching. Once you try it you won't want to go back to dealing with all those bags and the extra time and effort it takes. Just don't let the grass get too high between cuttings when mulching. A last tip, keep whatever blade you use sharp. I have a half acre lot and get my blade sharpened three times a season. It makes a big difference in keeping your lawn healthy and looting good. Hope there is something here useful to you. Good luck!

Sorry I haven't had this issue. Perhaps another issue with nutrients or water temperature. What are you growing?

I was wondering the same thing. I have 6 Leylands that are dying and I don't know why. Could be from lack of water so I have started watering them from the garden hose since we haven't had much rain here. I am thinking it would be wise to try and fertilize them but then I was thinking what if it is some kind of bug that is killing them? I know I sound like boob here but I am new to raising hedges and have no clue what I'm doing. I think I will give Bayer a try and see what happens. Thank for asking this question :)

I bought some a few yrs ago that came in a syringe in which i added water then shot them into the stems of my plants, it was the only time i ever had luck with zuccini, as the viner borers kill the plants quite qucikly which made me stop gardening a few yrs, this yr i want to find those nematodes but can not remember the name nor who i bought them from.

I did NOT experience stem rot and I can absolutely say that I did NOT have the first horn worm....and it was the first year that I didn't. I was very impressed with the product and have already planted my tomatoes for this year...and am re-using the collars. Good luck!

Yes, I am aware of this. I can only go by my own personal experience - I have been taking the "Greens" since last summer and have had no adverse reaction.

mine broke before i found out, but i think , yes. big weeds, thin soil, surrounding grass. all factors.

We removed the sod before setting ours up in the yard; I heard from others that the rotting grass under the pool can be problematic/stinky.

Jesse, I have no idea, because I have not had that problem. I have used mine for a complete season and this summer have picked up grass after mowing and I have had no problems. Could something have gotten wrapped around the wheel? This would cause the wheel to stop turning and may have broken off teeth. Sorry I can't be much help to you.

It hasnt in my case. Although the grass underneath wont get much sun. As far at the heat goes, as long as you put about 5 to 10 lbs of sand in it as instructed, you shouldn't have any problems with the heat affecting your grass.

Yes I just noticed the same thing, worms and some kind of webbing that I am fairly certain is from the worms. Have you found out if anything should be done about it?
