1. The Palmetto and Raleigh varieties of St. Augustine. The regular

is not shade tolerant. Zoysia is poor in shade tolerance.


All varieties will tolerate full sun or full shade.

Evidently, am not one with the same opinion.

2. Cow manure is not a good fertilizer. Stick with horse manure. Direct
application is not advised.


Horse manure is full of weed seeds. I would never use it again.


Both cows and horses may eat foliage that may contain seed. Whether either
animal contacts seed is controllable. Saying horse only is rather
suggestive that cows don't. Both cannot digest unchewed seeds. Horse
manure is more fertile, more likely to burn if applied directly.
