Has anyone used this on St. Augustine grass?

My parents have a similar type of grass and they are the one that recommended it too me. you just have to be gentle as to not pull up grass

I tried many times to use on my St. Augustine. It does not work. The tines get caught and it is impossible to use.

I use a light 1/2 tsp MSN per Gal. to spot spray for dollar week in St Augustine grass. Too much MSN will kill you grass. You can also call the Landscaper Store at 561-329-5072. Good luck with your weeds. It will control dollar weed in St Augustine but you have to treat about ever 6 weeks till you get it under control. Follow the label instructions. This also is dependent on the square area your sprayer will cover. Too be really safe star by spraying 100 sq ft or so and wait 4-6 weeks to see how you grass is doing.

I did and it worked great. The "Pro Edge" feature let me spread seed right up to the non grass areas with no problem.

I've used this for two years to control wild bermuda grass that springs up and it works well. I have had absolutely no issues with it killing my tall fescue and bluegrass. Not sure what the others did, but I had no such problems. Using twice a year and the number of new spots I have needed to treat have decreased to just a couple.

Hi! I don't know. I don't have turf grass but I have used it to trim very thick weeds and branches. I hope this helps!

I haven't tried that. I have used it only on my outdoor shrubs and it works very well for that.

It appears to have killed a good portion of my fescue grass. Half of my yard is now brown, I'm hoping the grass will come back with the rains here in California during the winter. How did it work on your lawn?

So far I've only used mine outside. You might get some grass stuck in there but it's not a big deal.

My question exactly, my husband likes to keep the St. Augustine LONG, but I can't stand the noise, the mess, etc.......can anyone else weigh in about the issues of St. Augustine and a push/reel mower. I couldn't tell from AMERGIN's post......do you mean you mowed 2-3x PER WEEK? Of course that would be in Florida, we are here in central Texas, no rain in sight.......so i bet it doesn't grow as fast as in Florida. Please let me know what other info you get, thanks.

yes, used it on concrete foundation around house and on around bilko door with no sign of harm to grass.

The active ingredient shows as Halosulfuron-methyl. I do not find the ingredient that you mention. The directions/information shows it is safe for use on St. Augustine. I have Bermuda (warm season), and Fescue (cool season), grasses and it has not harmed either one. I have used this product several times and it does a good job killing Nutsedge. Hope this helps!

I have sprayed twice at the end of this season,,30 days between sprays,,so far the bermuda grass is dead.The tall fescue has been completely unaffected.I will spray again in the spring,as directions call for..I have tried many products trying to kill the much unwanted bermuda,so far the Ornamec has worked.Directions state that it usually takes 2 seasons to completely kill the devil grass..So far so good!!

Yes! I have a different variety of grass in each separate area of my yard, and the reel mower does especially well in the areas with thicker grass like St. Augustine.

No way, this is just a mix of fescue grasses, it already died in the very sunny part of our yard and it has only reached the 90s a couple of times with a good amount of rain and watering. Nothing special about this, just an expensive marketing campaign. Stick to bermuda or st augustine in your area.

Hi,I used it last year to fill in some bare patches , it grew fast but you have to keep the seed moist or it won't germinate . The other thing is that the color of fast grow is much lighter than St.Augustine , you can use the same brand regular grass seed, they won't grow as fast but will color match and in my experience seems more sturdy also .

My lawn in Central Florida had Bahia in the front and St. Augustine in the back. My first Scott's mower lasted ten years mowing this lawn. My second Scott's is on its fifth year, now mowing Centipede grass in South Carolina for the last two years. Bahia was the easiest to cut, but the long seed stems had to be mowed frequently or cut by hand as they were too large to fit into the reel. The St. Augustine grows almost too fast to cut, unless you're willing to mow two-three times a week. Since we xeriscaped most of the yard, we had smaller than average areas than the typical Florida lawn to mow and this made the job manageable. Both looked excellent after cutting with this lawn mower. I never regretted mowing with the Scott's 20 Classic, but then, I was into this reel mower almost as much for the workout as all the other benefits (low noise and no fumes). Hope that helps & good luck! Steve B

It works great for my artificial grass. I have used it quite a bit and it removes the debris from the grass and even somewhat straightens the grass. Good product
