Re: Can anyone ID this grass for me?
[quote=Melissajo67 post_id=334432 time=1560476141 user_id=9493] Hi, I have this grass growing in my yard and I am not sure what kind of grass it is. It is spreading more and more every year. It seems to be good grass and so easy to mow. I planted some Bermuda so it is growing it with it. Hoping some...

Re: New to mowing warm season grasses
I don't see anything there that looks like bermuda. I would guess that is a zoysia matrella like zeon or zorro.

Re: Sedge Ender Application in Texas Heat
I don't have any experience with it but I have had great luck with certainty. I apply at full rate once the sun goes down. Then water it in the morning. Don't mow for 2 days. Takes 2 application 6-8 weeks apart. After the first application, the sedge completely stops growing tho. Whatever reappears...

Re: Ants
Fipronil is what finally worked for my ant problem. Same as you describe and it was a constant problem. I tried bifenthrin, imidacloprid and some others which would kill the ants it contacted, but they would be back in 3-4 days. The first app of fipronil kept them away for several months. I also bou...

Re: celcius vs msma
Pretty much all situations unless you have dallisgrass to deal with. Celsius can be applied at high temps unlike MSMA and controls a much larger number of weeds as well. It also isn't illegal to use on residential property.

Re: FL Weed ID
Actually, after looking at the pics a little closer, it appears to be green kyllinga. Everything else in my prior post holds true.

Re: FL Weed ID
That would be nutsedge which isn't controlled by Celsius. There are several herbicides that will work to varying degrees. Certainty works very well, but like Celsius, it has a high initial price point. Some others like Sedgehammer can be bought in small packets for one time use.

I'm thinking the same thing Begotten. It certainly isn't bermuda.

Re: I have drank the coolaid
Keep in mind that the Green Light product does include quinclorac, but also includes 2,4-D. That product should not be applied when temps are 85+ (or expected to be 85+ for several days). It should be applied in a spray that allows the poison to stick to the leaves since it is foliarly absorbed. In ...

Re: St. Augustine - Brown Spots!!!
With the bright color around the edge of the area, it appears to be brown patch/large patch.

Re: Problems with St. Augustine Grass - Brown spot/Large patch?
It could be KBG Green, I was just guessing that fescue would be more likely in Southern California. I would bet a LOT of dough that it isn't a warm-season grass.

Re: Problems with St. Augustine Grass - Brown spot/Large patch?
Agree with the above, looks like fescue to me. I've seen a lot of St Augustine and it's never been close to that fine bladed. St Augustine grows via stolons which are also notably absent in your pics.

Re: Orbit B-hyve WiFi Timer Controler
My father just purchased the 12 zone version and has also been pleased with it. I think most of the more expensive purchases were made prior to the availability of the Orbit. I do think my Rainmachine is a little more versatile, but if I were buying today I would seriously consider the Orbit because...

Re: Uggggg - Weeds!
I would be looking into another herbicide if those are in your lawn. Triclopyr isn't labeled for use on bermuda unless you are trying to suppress it. Crap. Good point. I should bud out on grasses that I don't have in my area. Sorry OP. Actually no, it was my bad. When on my phone I can't see what g...

Re: GardenPants TX Backyard Reno Winter 2016
Just a thought, but buffalo grass seed is pricey and difficult to use with success by many accounts. Your lawn doesn't look that large, so why not use sod?
