okay it's been two months since we started this st augustine plug adventure here and um looks pretty
good from far away you get closer you start seeing the portions that have not been filled in yet
when i did this i i spread the plugs out kind of far um probably 14 inches maybe even longer so
even though it's been two months they haven't filled in fully yet i would suggest if you do
it do 10 inches to maybe 12 inches at the most but um even though i did that they're
coming in two months isn't all that long as you can see they're getting filled in really nicely
um one thing i noticed is this whole area used to be weeds and with round decks and chopping the um
dirt down to nothing i'm getting some wings between me and plugs i've been pulling them
as i need to i'm not going to go full out crazy on them but it goes to show you how
how awful wheat roundup is nowadays it
it has no problems killing grass you could kill grass all day with round x
by the next day your grass will be dead if you spray grass but if you're spraying um for weeds
it it basically has no effect which i don't understand how ground up roundup can even
stay in business this isn't just a roundup issue either i've tried multiple different
brands of weed killer and as you can see i'm i'm still pulling up doll weed and all kinds of stuff
i mean it's not that bad even in another month or so i probably have more and i'll just pull it
um but it's frustrating because i did spray this an awful lot
um i'm gonna stop doing this for a minute and go back to showing you
the results but um i'm pretty satisfied with the plug results even though i am may have
saint augustine grass plug gowth 2 month progress
planted the plugs a little too far away for them to really propagate quickly
but they're doing a really good job i mean you can't you can't say that
this still isn't good even though it's taking quite a long time now while you're doing this
you should actually be mowering these after after the first month you could start mower
the plugs like take the you know it'll take the top edge off a little bit and they'll spread
a little quicker this grass is doing pretty good considering the type of soil i have here
um it's really dry but i've been keeping it wet um in another month this thing will
probably be totally filled in especially hopefully it's going to be starting to rain
a lot we haven't been getting all that much rain around here and um rain is really what makes us go
on some areas i did buy some sod over here and i put some sod down it seems to be doing
well considering i put it down a couple weeks ago only about like um six six sod pieces because um
in some sections it was getting tough to get the um plugs to take here i put some saw down
the side wasn't in the greatest shape when i bought it so it's recovering from being shocked
but i put about like six pieces of sod in the back here the rest are all plugs
and um you may not be able to see the results as good in this video but um it's doing pretty well
considering how far i put those plugs a couple days ago i did spray some scott x down between
each plug to try to cut back on the weeds we knew that'll be another video at today today
or tomorrow i'll show you how that skydeck stuff is doing but um if you can see from this angle
i'll try to extend it a little bit um yeah it's filling in really well
um two months um worth of growth here i'll probably do another video in about a month
and there's the view that i like you can see that it's really coming in
