Do you have a plugger for St. Augustine grass?
2016200
Our plugger is not ideal for St. Augustine grass, especially if you're wanting to cut up pieces of sod to plant in your lawn. It does a better job of transplanting St Augustine from one part of your yard to another but because we're never sure what folks are intending to do with the 5-IN-1, we feel better stating that it is not recommended for St Augustine. There are some pluggers which pull a larger plug which is better suited for this particular grass type. They are square and pull one plug at a time. Hope this helps. Thanks, Bill (ProPlugger)

Hi there, yes, we offer the Euro Plug model here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00JE2S73M/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition;=new. If you need a different plug please let Harvest Essentials know.

I actually returned this item. Not the product's fault, but my own. Discovered that there isn't a thatch build up with my type of grass...Bahia grass. I didn't fully understand what thatch was. It isn't the clippings that you mulch during the season. It's those tubular runners that Augustine and centipede types of grass send out. So be certain you need this product or you will be paying to return it.As for the raking...The tines are too far apart to consider it to be any sort of lawn rake. So you should expect to have to rake up the thatch afterwards. Or take the lazy man way out like I do with leaves and use your bagger attachment on the lawn tractor. :-) I actually returned this item. Not the product's fault, but my own.

I have know idea because we don't know anything about St Augustine grass. We use on Kentucky Blue grass and it does a fantastic job on the crabgrass. We use each year in early spring. I'm sorry that I can't help you further.

While I use a mulching insert on my JD X320 it should help mulch without a plug.

The Fusilade container comes w a measuring device on the side of the container. There is a helpline also. We have not found it quite satisfactory, actually. It does not get to the roots under the driveway, and does take quite a toll on the St. Augustine. We probably need to get radical, dig up shrubbery and till the turf between treatments. That torpedo grass is from the netherworld!

I have not, but I own the tool, and I live near beaches. If you are talking about beach grass, I think you'd spend a lot of time disentangling the grass. I found it excellent for breaking up ordinary grass for new flower beds or vegetable plantings when I only need a small area. It has a reasonable amount of power, but long grass tangles in the prongs. Mow first.

I am not sure, we didn't have those in the yard. Wish I could be more of a help.

I own the ST275 and I cut grass and weeds up to 16" tall with no problem. I have not cut St. Augustine grass though.

Plugs, couple of passes leaves nice dirt plugs on top of the grass. Only caution I have is that I was shorted a part from my Amazon order, and the manufacturer would not respond to my email. I would buy this from a local hardware store.

I did & no problems but I can't guarantee it- If I were u I would call my County Extension agent & inquire because I'm in SE TX & I have no idea about your area. Most of the grass here is St Augustine but after I lived in MO I wanted fescue so I planted it & it has done well here

I wish I knew. I still don't have mine wired up & running. I've put this project off until spring. If you happen to find one somewhere please let me know.

No plug, has to be wired in or make a short extension cord out of #10 or 12 wire with ground.

sorry, plug-in style is unavailable for now, maybe we make it possible in the near future, thanks.

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

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

Mine came with two plugs that could be used for that....we didnt use them--we just left the filter attached all summer, and ran it every few days.
