Is this product safe for use on St. Augustine lawns?

2, 4-D is a generic broad leaf weed killer found in almost all broadleaf herbicides. Since St. Augustine is a grass (and not a broadleaf), 2,4-D will not kill it. However, if used again and again in a particular location, it will eventually kill the St. Augustine which is what I experienced in a small patch which had oxalis (yellow sorrel) weed. I later found out from Texas A&M that oxalis, albeit a broadleaf, is very, very hard to kill since it has underground rhizomes which regenerate the weed even if it appears to have been killed. Their recommendation for a broadleaf weedkiller a homeowner could use (i.e., you don't have to have a applicator's license) was $64.99 for 2 ozs, so I passed. Think I'll try to hand dig my oxalis.

I read a little further, and it lists a number of warm-season grasses that are tolerant to the product. The list includes St Augustine.

We use ours to cut Bermuda Grass which it does fine. My wife who is the turf expert thinks it would cut St. Augustine if you did it on a regular basis, and didn't let it grow tall and out of control. It works well for a small area.

I have never used it on my lawn. No reason to as deer have never bothered the lawn one bit. I use it mainly on Hosta, Daylilies and Violets. It works great and does not stink like other products I have used in the 24 years living here where deer are plentiful.

I wouldn't recommend this to you. I have terrible results. Try ammonium nitrate on your lawn. It works wonder for me.

Sorry--I don't know. I used it on many large mulched areas around our home an d it seems to have worked quite well. I have no experience with it on lawn grasses

The rinse water did NOT harm my grass in any way. I would think that your plants will be fine.

Yes, this is an organic fertilizaer and it won't burn your grass. You can't fertilize your lawn with synthetic fertilizers as they are sodium based products which burn the grass due to the salt. Milorganite is basically feces and will not harm your lawn when used in the summer. I use this with alfalfa meal (rabbit food/iguana bedding @15lbs per 1000 ft) and have outstanding results in the summer. Make sure to water at least an inch after application (if it hasn't rained within a week) to help breakdown the fertilizers. Enjoy!

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

At this time my small patch of St. Augustine grass is doing well, I live in the South near the Gulf. But, I did spray it on my ground cover (jasmine) and it has helped it spread and the green color has improved.

Y.C., Johnson grass is listed on the label. But it also says "not for use on home lawns" and "keep off fescue in summer". For most people, this is a problem.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I have never had a problem spraying it on lawn concrete, anything. It's a great product, it works

No. I use it safely around the house around my children and my pets. Just be certain to use it when it's dry, not too windy and don't walk through what you already sprayed and then walk through your lawn. You will definitely leave footprints in your lawn that you don't want!

Good question. But I do not have an answer, as I only used it on the asphalt shingle roof. As for unintended consequences, the porous nature of some paving material, I might have concerns about the product leaching into the soil and the effect on vegetation around the walkways.

No, it does not harm trees or lawns. My husband has used this product for many years. It is the only product that works for us.

I'd read the label. Regular lawn irrigation likely dilutes its potency. It could work but may need to be applied more frequently than the label recommends in sprinkler locations.

Unfortunatley I don't know the answer to that. It would have to be mixed really thin. You may have to worry about what it could do to your lawn and what it could do to the sidewalk. Likely as not the safe mixture might be too weak to do the job. Dish washing liquids and laundry detergent may be safer.
