It does not look like St Augustine at all but it should work. We were in S. Fl and put it down in Nov and Dec. It did very well both times, watering nightly. I hope that helps.

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 .

I used it on bare patches in San Jose, CA, and it worked well. Grass sproated within two weeks. I watered in the morning and at night, and covered the grass seed with garden soil. It is important that the seeds stay moist. The grass did come in lighter in color than the rest of my lawn, but over six months it has started to blend in.

Twice a day watering if u dont get rain. grows really fast but dont like the patches and 3 different seeds. some grass grows short, thin and die quickly.

I have no idea about St. Augustine grass, but it cuts our bermuda, blue grass, and various other grasses and weeds effortlessly (almost!) and silently (almost!). I am delighted with it!

It should do fine in your area, has grown well here in north Fl. Water lightly daily for the first week, after that only needs water when you see it turing gray. best time to plant would be after the danger of frost is over. After established the cold will not hurt it. You should see good growth by the end of the first week. Wait till its about six or seven inches tall to mow the first time, after that you can mow as desired.

One gallon will do up to one acre effeciently I have found. Otherwise its spreaded too thin for thicker weeds and brush

Just make sure you follow the recommended watering ..... Also for humidity put a shallow dish with rocks to keep planter out of the water and misting also .....

Depending upon the weed types (tough to kill or not), you could try anywhere from a 1 to 3 to a 1 to 6 ratio. I used 1 to 6 and was able to spray everything that needed killin' on my suburban 80 x 120' Florida lot. The odor is very powerful, like you'd crushed 1000 orange peels in your yard. By the next day most weeds were wilted and black. Within 3 or 4 days, they were gone. It's much like a high concentration of acetic acid (vinegar). It burns the weed from the ground up. Hope it works ok for you. TX MP

I think the key thing is to use it consistently, and in the proper pattern. and in accordance to your weather In my case, in the fall, I need to ensure the immediate 20' surrounding my house is covered at least every month, to keep them from tunneling under porch and hibernating there. (I have 2 acres of yard and am in Zone 7, so I have to sacrifice some parts during the year and winter months) In the spring (as soon as you see activity in the perimeter), start your dosing, if they have infiltrated close, drive them out by doing a 10-20' perimeter closest to your house/center of the lawn week 1, the next band (21-40') the next week, and then band 41-60' etc to your edge perimeter. If that works, then you can just treat that outer perimeter every month-6weeks for the rest of the year. This worked well for me this year. If you get a lot of rain, you may need to tighten your dosing windows, but 4-6 weeks the oil should last given ~1" of rain/watering a week.

I use it on St Augustine grass and have used it on Bahai as well. It takes a little while to take effect but works well.

I'm sorry I don't know. The areas I used this onI didn't want anything growing in. This is my second year using this and the areas that didn't get wet much by the sprinklers didn't get weeds in it for about a year if that helps.

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.

That is a micro lawn. I have no doubt that this device would work for that size lawn, but there are many cheaper, lower maintenance choices that would also work.

I am using it on St Augustine in South Louisiana for Virginia Button Weed. It is working well.

I guess it depends on how small your yard is. I've got a large yard, but am using this sprinkler to water only a 25x50 foot rectangular seedbed. With the sprinkler in the middle of this area, I've got it adjusted so the spray distance varies from about 13 to 25 feet. I think it could service an even smaller area if I turned down the water flow. If your yard is smaller, and is not very irregular in shape, you might want to use a small oscillating sprinkler. Keep in mind that impulse sprayers, like this Gilmour, are designed to shoot water fairly long distances because they aim in one direction at a time. The oscillating sprinklers provide more even coverage for smaller areas.
