I have St. Augustine grass (floratam). What is best weed killer and when should I use?

Question

I have used Scott's weed and feed but weeds prevail. Because it is the Floratam variety I can't use many products because the grass is killed along with the weeds.

Answer 1

The Scotts should work if you follow the directions on the bag. The lawn should be wet so the fertilizer/weed killer sticks to the shoots of the grass. It is absorbed through the shoots not the roots. I have the same grass and this does work. Getting down on all fours a pulling out the weeds also works. That is if you don't have too many.

Answer 2

St. Augustine and Floratan are fantastically lots from the comparable kinfolk. No weed killer is one hundred% secure for any form of grass. i'd propose you to do a weed and feed SCOTTS . somewhat be costly (pink granular fertilizer) yet is worth it. it is going to turn your section green, yet a the comparable time kill a large quantity of weeds... effectively.

Answer 3

I found one at Home Depot. I did the same thing and killed my St. Augustine grass. I don't have the bag to give you the name, but check at Home Depot or Lowes. They do have one and it works.
