Establishing/nurturing a lawn of St Augustine grass
"Felix Karpfen" wrote in message ... Given that the combination of drought and watering restrictions have wiped out the part of my garden that pretended to be a lawn, I am starting from scratch and will shortly have a lawn of St Augustine grass installed (as turf). While St Augustine lawns may be old hat in the southern parts of the US, it is pioneering in my neck of the woods. Hence any advice|pointers on the internet on how to look after such a lawn will be gratefully received. For the record, we have summers in which the temperatures hover between 85°F and 95°F with little rain and in the winters, the night temperature drop below freezing very infrequently. And the El Niño has played hell with our rainfall in the past few years. St. Augustine needs a lot of water. It likes lots of sun, lots of water, and warm humid temperatures. Since you are in an area with little summer rain, you should probably reconsider your decision. |
