Zoysia and Bermuda grass will go dormant with drought, then green up when normal rainfall patterns come back. It’s called “high drought avoidance”.
St. Augustine will tend to look greener in the early stages of drought. But when it turns brown, it’s more likely it’s dead instead of dormant. I’d assume Centipede would do the same. It’s called “low drought avoidance”.

What about Image? The imazaquin version, not the atrazine one.
I have a widespread kylinga infestation and like the idea of the pre-mixed hose attachment kind.
(Kylinga is a close cousin to nutsedge)

What do you think these pickers do when they’re waaay out in a field and the port-a-potty is a couple hundred yards away when they need to poop?

re: LSU Soil Test Results

Did the soil test give you recommendations for your centipede of what you need to use?
To favor centipede, your phosphorus level may already be adequate for it. Centipede does okay with very minimal amounts of it, and it stays in the soil for a long time.
For lowering pH, get an ammonium sulfate nitrogen source. Like the CENTIPEDE lawn fertilizer made by Hi-yield or Ferti-Lome. It’ll boost the potassium too, and has no phosphorus in it.
All of this will be fine for the other grasses, except they still may have a phosphorus deficiency.

Cores will look like dog poop all over the yard.
If that is unpleasant to your eyes, then mow over them to bust them up. There’ll still be little pieces of cores left. So Maybe set the mower down a notch or two to facilitate a quicker breakdown of what’s left. Just sharpen your blade afterwards if needed.

Seems like I’ve read that centipede doesn’t go completely dormant in the winter, so glyphosate might kill your centipede.
MSM was what I used and it took a long time. But after a couple of months, the ugly seed stalks started fading out after each mowing. Complete suppression came quickly.

re: New Build - Centipede or St. Aug Sod?

Do your own research on zoysia and shade. It seems like every trademarked variety wants to claim shade tolerance. For me, I have Empire in a portion of my lawn. It grows right up to the tree shade line, then stops. Their patent holder, Sod Solutions, says it’s shade tolerant. Nope, it’s not.

Centipede will just fade away over time in shade. And even in sunny areas, if you over fertilize even once, you run the risk of “centipede decline” setting up. I think it’s fungus related. It’s difficult, probably impossible, to bring it back. Decline can still happen, even if you don’t push it.
Can you still get MSMA?
Were you maybe talking about MSM instead?

How would he do in the SEC now that he’s out of a job?
I had a cold hardy one (but can’t remember the name) that froze in the hard freeze of 2024, when it got down to the low teens. It didn’t come back.
I thought about trying it again, but read somewhere that the avocados the cold hardy ones produce are not good compared to the standard (Haas) ones.
Can anyone confirm this?

I lived about 20 miles from Norman in OKC area for about 5 years back in the 90’s. Never went to a ballgame, though.
Clean and well kept.
Cold fronts can bring the temps from pleasant 70’s to bitterly cold 30’s much quicker than on the gulf coast, and the wind is what makes it so bitter. So you might as well bring layers of clothing and a cap or hat, bc it’s cold more often than not.
I loved the area, though, and if I ever went back to live in OKC area, Norman would be toward the top of my list.

I believe we should take a look at Collin Klein or Glenn Schumann for head coach position.
I may be wrong, but I believe they would make good head coaches.
For those pulling for Frank, pay these 2 enough to lure them away, (which ain’t gonna happen), and let Jeff Landry do Frank’s contract.
I’m being facetious, bc I don’t think it would ever have a chance of happening.

Their speed between snaps doesn’t allow the defense to adjust.
I’d be curious if his offense was anything more than that.

Download Pl@ntnet app. Its free. Follow instructions. It will identify your grass (also for free). It’s as simple as snapping a picture with your phone.
