St. Augustine Lawn Help [View all]

My St. Augustine grass looked awful last year. I think the winter of 2011, the summer drought of 2011, grasshoppers, and maybe a few grubs have caused havoc. Half of the lawn is okay, but the other half is a mess. I've been trying to go the organic route, but I don't think it's working very well, so any suggestions in this area are appreciated for 2012.

Check out zoysia grass. They have come a long way with it. Lochloosa Jan 2012 #3
