If you put sand on your St Augustine grass until it is almost covered, the grass will be more lush and survive. I have got to look up that bug.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-10663309503167915072017-06-12T04:05:36.058-05:002017-06-12T04:05:36.058-05:00I've got some of those thorns.

We have lots of pests in the grass so I have to have it sprayed every couple of months- darn those chinch bugs!NANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809533152358579455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-86316138575660393312017-06-11T22:52:06.817-05:002017-06-11T22:52:06.817-05:00Anne,

I am not willing to dress to pull it. So, poison is the only remedy for me! No, I do not feel bad about the thorns either since they spread underground. I try to spray them when they are just three or four of the shiny, heart-shaped leaves. Otherwise, they climb the trees!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-69925143766029994542017-06-11T22:45:49.375-05:002017-06-11T22:45:49.375-05:00Urspo,

I let this one weed grow until it got to be 7' tall. I read about it and observed it in the country. It will totally dominate a pasture and choke out everything else. It had to go and so did the grass taking over. I even tolerate the dandelions. Well, I snatch the flower off before it goes to seed.
