I have only used this for mildew on blackcurrant bushes. Frankly I was not impressed and the fungus remained whilst the leaves were still on. Maybe you will have better luck. Mike D.

I really hope that this works for you and please let me know how it does for you. I can also be reached at BLKCAT13@me.com if you find it easier to write there. I used Concrobium Mold Control Mold Inhibitor it had good reviews.

I do not know. I do know it will kill St. Augustine Grass here in Florida. It also controls torpedo grass in my junipers. I lift up the juniper runners and spray directly on the torpedo grass/ Sorry I could not be of more help.

It does not affect grass - that I've experienced (trying to picture how you would use it to have that concern?)- It won't kill near-by plants or leaves - just works on open cuts. I usually make fresh cuts an apply it right away - it gets on the bark etc. and has never harmed anything else but does an excellent job of stopping "suckers" from coming back ...in that spot! Other suckers may still appear in other areas of the tree, trunk, or branches - it is not systemic where it keeps all from popping up. It will keep suckers away from the cut areas you treat. I have been very pleased with the results from treatments I've done.

BTW Adam, because you have a *fungus* gnat issue, you should probably water your herbs from the bottom until the situation clears itself up otherwise you will continue to have the issue. What part of the country do you live to have a fungus situation like that? Or maybe you're watering too much? Anywho, Put some plastic coasters under your plants (if they are in pots) or switch to a soaker line (if in a garden) to avoid the over watering gnats issue. When applying the DE use this: Pest Pistol Mini Duster. But remember, each time your DE gets wet, you will need to re-apply it that's why I suggested the two versions of watering.

I too have St. Augustine grass and after 15 minutes of attempted grass cutting Scotts 20" was retired. It stayed in my garage until recently when I contacted my garbage hauler who will drag the over rated beast away. Good riddance!!!

You know, I am not sure what St. Augustine grass looks like, but it really works well on medium and low height grass. Not so much on anything tall.

Richard: Not sure about your question. I think you are asking what type of grass (lawn) you can use it on. I've used it on St. Augustine and Bahia with good results. It kills off the sedge but does not affect the lawn grass. Don't know if it's safe on other grasses (such as kentucky, etc.) but believe it is. The label would say and I'm sure their ads would specify if it was only useable on limited lawn grasses.

Atrazine is a very effective weed killer for St. Augustine grass. Be careful though, it will kill many other grasses. From what I can tell, you can't buy St. Augustine seed, but have to plant sod or plugs.

This herbicide works fantastic on removal of Bahia grass in your lawn. I used it in a lawn of St. Augustine and centipede, with patches of Bahia all over the yard. I used a pump sprayer and spot sprayed each patch lightly. after a summer of use with this product I removed every spot of Bahia from the lawn. this product will burn the other grass a little (turns a little red) but it recovered in no time. I used the MSM that came in white pellet form, you will get a measuring cup with the product. fill this cup to the bottom line on the cup. I put this in a Gatorade bottle with a little water to mix the pellets good by shacking the bottle vigorously (with top on bottle). then put this measurement in 1 gal of water. (just a dab will do the job). my 1- 2oz bottle will last for many years. this is very good herbicide to rid Bahia from lawn. Good Luck.

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

BE VERY VERY CAREFUL!!! I used on my yard to deal with a Bermuda problem I had and it killed the grass. I followed the directions but unfortunately I have a very large brown area. I used it in sept/oct and won't know if the Bermuda grass is completely gone till June. Sucks for me. Good luck.

I haven't had a problem but I live in Arizona and fungus and mold are not prevalent here. Sorry, I have no suggestions.

Yes, I have a quarter of an acre of St.Augustine grass in south Florida and it works fine. Dense patches and wet grass will slow it down but it manages to power through with some effort on your part. The two batteries typically last for the entire job. It is important ro keep the blade sharp over time to ensure you are getting the most out of the battery life.

I have used this product on centipede grass. I does appear to work well killing wild Bermuda grass. However, before I would swear by this product I want to see how my yard fairs out over the upcoming spring/ summer.

i'm too dumb to know what tall fescue is and i was too lazy to look it up. i used it on what i believed to be fungus on St Augustine and it did nothing to help the problem. However, i'm not positive the problem was fungus.john bland, gainesville, fl

We used it a few times over the summer -- basically until it ran out. Worked really well. HOWEVER! It also (unfortunately) killed all the worms. So our grass suffered a bit, I think, because of it. We also had lots of rain last summer, so that might've been the cause, but we did notice a preponderance of worm carcasses after applying the EcoSMART. So I would definitely keep it close to your house, and not use all over the lawn or in garden areas.
