1. The Palmetto and Raleigh varieties of St. Augustine. The regular strain
is not shade tolerant. Zoysia is poor in shade tolerance.


All varieties will tolerate full sun or full shade.

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.


Chickensh*t is the best, but has to be aged or composted, as it's very
hot! Sheep manure also has no weed seeds. Don't know if you can find
that around here though.
