Thanks, to be honest I've owned this trap for 2 years now and this is the first confirmed kill. I might have had one earlier in the season but never dug it.

Wasn't able to cut yesterday, coupled with PGR wearing off... I scalped a few sections. Hoping I can get some put down tomorrow after work.

Hi all,

First time poster from Australia. Was using a semi IT/home/hobby forum but decided that a dedicated lawn/gardening forum would be the way to go.

Have an average size yard and love gardening (in other words, weeding. Its lots of fun when it listens to you!!). Sort of a turf farmer living in the city. Mainly use selective and occasionally Roundup when needed. Recently get into more specialized herbicides and preemergents depending on the weed. Lawn is Buffalo (St. Augustine)

Also got a mango tree with lots of mangoes, and lots of annoying pests for that tree.

The local farm supply supplies insane amount of herbicides enough to farm 100 ha of farm/turf, so I shop from US a few times already. None of my friends go this far nor they know what I am talking about :(

Anyway, first up, a noob and easy question (that's why I dont open a new thread), dont laugh! :)

Can you help to identify this weed?

I want to know if this is a variety of crabgrass or what is it.

This page https://tipsfromashton.wordpress.com/20 ... llisgrass/ helps identify crabgrass and paspalum, but my pic doesn't look like it either.

Please help as I am thinking of using a more specialized herbicide to kill it. Bought Dimension 2EW and it should arrive in a few days. Wait till I kill em with pre + post :)

Mowed and then put down three 50lb bags of Earthworks Replenish 3-4-3 Organic Fertilizer. Smells lovely.

:good:

Today I double cut the Bermuda side and put down Milo and Nitrogen. I also gave the St. Augustine side a dirty look.

Put out barricade (prodiamine) and watered it in. Also stomped down a few mole hills/tunnels...they are killing me right now.

Mowed the yard a little higher than usual to start prepping for wonder. Put down 100 pounds of hi yield pre-emergent and put down about 1/2" of water. Hopefully this keeps the weeds at bay during the winter. I have 50 pounds of 34-0-0 that I will put out in the backyard later this week. One last push before fall.
Ps: it's going to be 100 today. Way too hot for September.

Well it's mid November and grass is still green but looking pale. First freeze of the year is coming tonight so I went ahead and winterized the sprinkler system. Found a zone wasn't coming on, opened up the valve box to find it full of dirt. A gopher I've been battling decided to use it to store dirt and must have been hungry because he chewed the yellow wire in half. All fixed now and preparing for war angainst this gopher.
