[QUOTE="mcdover, post: 11795069, member: 50651"] I've got a few thousand down the toilet in St.Augustine grass. I will sod my lawn in Zoysia next time. St. Augustine: Disadvantages St. Augustinegrass, like most turfgrasses, has certain cultural and pest problems. It requires water to remain green and healthy and may require supplemental irrigation during extended dry periods. It has poor wear tolerance and does not hold up to repeated foot or vehicular traffic. It goes into winter dormancy in parts of the state and turns a brown or tan color until springtime. It produces thatch under high fertilization and irrigation regimes, which may become a health problem for the grass. It has coarse, wide leaves and stems and therefore does not grow as densely as some other species. The major insect pest of St. Augustinegrass is the chinch bug, which can cause considerable damage if left untreated. Some cultivars are also susceptible to diseases, such as gray leaf spot, large (brown) patch, and take-all root rot. Weed control can be challenging, particularly when trying to control persistent, grassy weeds. Zoysia: [url=http://www1.zoysiafarms.com/whzoysia.jsp]Zoysia Farm Nurseries: Why Zoysia?[/url] The key reasons zoysia is so attractive for homeowners: Cuts water bills Zoysia's vigorous root system is so deep and extensive the grass rarely, if ever, needs watering -- zoysia can really cut your water bills. Reduces mowing by two-thirds The lateral growth of zoysia means it grows tall very slowly -- most people mow zoysia once for every three times they need to mow other grasses! Zoysia thrives in heat and cold “We planted Amazoy plugs three years ago and we cannot believe how beautiful our new lawn is. Our grand son loves to play outside when he comes to visit” —M.D. "The hotter it gets, the better it grows." Zoysia loves blistering heat and yet it won't winter kill either -- it can survive to 30° below zero. It's perfect for extreme conditions as well as mild climates. Amazoy plugs will thrive in the heat and sunshine, but will not be damaged by snow or cold weather conditions. Amazoy can withstand temperatures of 120° to -30°Fahrenheit. Chokes out crabgrass and weeds all summer long Your established zoysia lawn grows so thick with deep roots that crabgrass and other summer weed seeds cannot germinate. No more chemicals Since zoysia naturally resists insects and diseases, you avoid the cost, time and risk of exposing your family and pets to weedkillers and pesticides. Never needs replacement -- even heals itself It's beautiful and tough. The way it naturally grows outward along the ground in all directions, zoysia grass acts like a network of plants that can withstand heavy use, and will fill in if damaged. Zoysia is THE answer for slopes, play areas and bare spots You can't beat zoysia for hard to cover spots, worn areas or to end erosion on slopes. It even levels out ground irregularities. [/QUOTE]
