Not st Augustine from what I can tell.

Pic 6&8 looks like dallisgrass

What kind of chemicals you all have access to Celsius, Revolver, monument, etc

 

Hi @CenlaLowell , thanks for the response!

Re. grass, if you wish I can take more close up pics in order to help identify?

Re. pic 6 and 8, I have a few of those clumps which I will dig out. There aren't too many. I suppose the chemicals you mention are target these and avoid future appearances?

I will research some similar chemicals and mention them here soon.

 

@RussellJ it looks like some buffalo/St Augustine on the right side of picture 10, bottom of picture 11, and left side of picture 13. I also see what looks like some couch/bermuda as well as lots of weeds - dallisgrass among them.

 

Not sure what he can do. I know Iodosulfuron is available in AU as Destiny Turf Herbicide. Iodosulfuron is what makes Celsius do what it does. Saw the price for it as well. Wow.

Yes the price of that is uhm...cough cough ouch!

 

I live South of you.

Looks like mostly sapphire or sir walter buffalo.

Lightly rake the dead grass out in the back yard.

pic 3 left - kill with hortico buffalo weed killer
pic 8 centre - kill with roundup
pic 23,24,25,26 blanket spray with hortico buffalo weed killer

An application of Seasol for the the roots of the grass and soil would be good now.

Wait 2 weeks and see how the weeds are going.

Not sure if Australian law even permits consumers to have it. In the US, the statement "for use by commercial applicators" is a suggestion that an individual state may or may not enforce. I happen to be in a state where that statement is binding. To the point where a vendor within the state is legally liable for selling such products to non commercial users.

Heya @Buffalolawny ,

Thanks for getting in touch!
Thank you for the advice and suggestions, I will definitely head over to Bunnings and grab the above mentioned and report back!

Much appreciated!

Thanks @Greendoc. Only found similar on the Bayer website...so you may be correct. Im still reading up on it.

Allyn Hane's channel Lawn Care Nut has a lot of Saint Augustine recommendations that may work for you. He puts out information regarding some of the easier to purchase products that may be more readily available in your country.

 

LCN Pro vista is not in Australia. But the palmetto (usa branded) bufflo is.

 

Thanks very much for the resources guys, I have subscribed to them on YouTube.

 

Haha now that you have subscribed. Going to need a big ladder to get yourself out of the hole that you are going to dig by watching all those videos.

Have a look at Lawn dreams from Melbourne

The Aussie Lawn from Scone (i think)

 

And down the rabbit hole I go! Send food!

 

Hi Everyone,

Just for context, it is winter here in Australia 😊

I've applied some weed killer as recommended above and started to see some yellowing of some the nasty stuff.

I will take some pics tomorrow and share.

I also would like to know does anyone know what this is (pic attached) and how best to remove them?

I'm currently removing them by hand a few 10's at a time...is this a futile or worthwhile effort? Or is there something chemical that targets this particular type of thing and would save me from early onset arthritis!

Thanks in advance!

It's hard to tell with no seed heads and it being in Australia but I'm sure that's one of the nasties (Dallis, barnyard, or similar). I'd continue pulling them as you are doing (a couple dozen at a time). You'll have the whole yard clear by summer.

Thanks @Redtwin I'll soldier on with that.

 

Mix up some PRG in some seed rasing mix and spread it on the thin areas to reduce the spread of weeds in an open grassed area.

If you need a spreader. Good Cheap before you plunge into the good spreaders.

Thanks @Buffalolawny .

I will check into doing this.

Based on your earlier feedback I have some report back images to share...

Should I consider a second dose in a week or two?
As there are still some weeds that are going strong even after the application?

I have taken to removing some of those big clumps by hand from the back yard...there are still a couple left...will do the front in the coming weekends. I know you recommended you using roundup in them but they just irritated all hell outta me 😂 so I went all Resident evil on them.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to show some of the progress, if I can call it that...

I've removed the clumps of grass(Dallis grass) that was there along with the other ones(not sure of their name).

1. Before (the area to the top right)


1. After (same top right area)







Obviously hoping for some growth in that area but with it being winter doubt it...would it be worth getting a roll or two of Buffalo grass and putting it in there now?

 

Some Spring update...of the front areas...there are some before pics of these areas further up in this thread.















Still some small areas to be worked on but dare I say a whole bunch better than what it was!

 

great job! and nice persistence also

 

Thanks @Darth_V8r , much appreciated.
Here's hoping to constant improvement
Amazing what I have learned from the forum and youtube!
