St FUNGUStine 

This channel has stolon my ❤

I’m new to lawn care but just wanted to say thank you for all of the hard work you put into teaching everyone on your channel. You do an excellent job and I am very appreciative of the hard work you put into it. All of your videos are very informative.

You know, Al… it’s a year old, but I’ve been in touch with the YM team the past couple of days re my St. Aug and the video, and the YM team, have been incredibly helpful in easing my panic about my lawn and giving me concrete guidance on how to handle my problem spots. Thanks Team YM and Allyn

Also, please keep giving tips and videos about Empire Zoysia. down here in Ft. Lauderdale you are my only intelligent source for my Zoysia Lawn. Big Thanks to you

Church lawn is looking awesome! Great to be able to give something back.

My grass caught everything except covid this year. It’s been a rough year for us all.

Thanks for the info as always. Been fighting fungus all summer long. Thanks for the tip on the Field King sprayer. Better than dragging that hose around.

Learned tons. One of my favorites. Had something for both beginners and more advanced users. Also, nice catch on the fungal ring pattern in your lawn. Saw the same thing in my backyard and thought grey leaf as well. Just got Clearys 3336F in the mail couple days ago and will mix with the prop. , microgreen and RGS.

This is just the video I've been wanting for, you hit the topics I was gonna email you about (dethatching & the brown spots). I'm seeing the same kinda brown spots on the blades, but thankfully no patches. Thanks!!!

Man!!! Thank you!!! I've been trying to figure out what's going on with my lawn. I've used disease x by itself and it did not do the trick. I now have the knowledge I need to get my lawn pristine. I will say, I've been doing a lot of research on St. Augustine but this video by far has been the most helpful.

Incredible information! I have centipede and pretty much can do everything you do with your St. Augustine grass, except 1/2 to 1/3 the N you can. I know this is an older video, but I have had issues with wild/common Bermuda creeping in my yard and I hit it with Atrazine (Image) and it helped knock out the unwanted Bermuda, without harming my "lazy man" centipede.

Appreciate all the info in your videos, I thank you for having the best lawn in my neighborhood..

What an amazing explanation about St Agus growing habits, simple yet full of information, you would make a great teacher. BTW, St Agus is my favorite grass, it's what I got in my home, my mom's lawn is Bermuda and even though it's nice it's not as nice as St Agus for me.

This video is right on time! Thanks Allen 👍🏻

For the past 18 years I've been using ordinary cornmeal to cure brown patch. It works every year. Application rate is 2 pounds per 100 square feet or 20 per 1,000 if you're doing the entire yard. 50 pounds of cornmeal is usually well under $10 at your local feed store.

Looping ... ? I'm thinking crop circles! Man, you are right on the mark! I have the same stuff going on in my SA up here in Pinellas County. I'm always amazed at how SA can look great and be yard of the month one week and go straight down hill the next. This was one of the most valuable videos on SA that I've seen. Thanks so much. PS ... can't wait until this fertilizer ban is up. Grrr. Thanks Al.

Great video! My lawn is showing brown spots but I thought it was because it needed more water. It hasn't gone away so I think it might be this disease. Thank you for sharing this information!

I had the exact same problem in my st aug several months ago. I used your bullet proof strategy twice and it worked both times.

Thanks for the warm season lawn love. Great stuff, cheers

"Never neglect your head". You are a very wise man

Thanks for the education. Now I know why my grass looks like crap at the end of every summer. I always called it heat stress.

Thanks for all the tips.

That slo-mo shot of that grass is just beautiful!

Thank you.

Wow. Great explanation. Thank you sir!

Very informative and helpful thanks

I was just tryin to coach a buddy of mine through some st auggy browning. Thank you

Happy Labor Day!!..another great video!..the song at the end would've been great with your back pack sprayer dance🤣

Thanks to you, Al, I am the coach of all my friends. It’s exhausting yet fun and satisfying.. as long as they listen lol

Absolutely check your heads. I replaced five yesterday and it made a difference in the coverage.

I find the double brass fitting that came with the sprayer works best for me. I have a hard time dialing in the right amount to spray. I just walk fast and overlap until it’s all gone. I heard a rumor that RGS at triple rate can stop the fungus.

I am fighting what I thought was dollar spot in my zoysia right now! Now I'm second guessing that after watching this.... Looks just like what you show

The church lawn is looking great! can't wait.

I wish I had the motivation and determination you have for your lawn, for mine 😕 Awesome channel and great info, thanks so much.

Been binge watching your videos , great content. Just subscribe

My palmetto st aug has this and have been treating with group 3+11 headway g granular and it crushes the problem, and I hit it every month during the worst humid times of year, switch to ironite and micronutrients and you can recover quick

Great video A... Nice progress on the church project.

LCN you are the man, I know you are going to get that lawn looking great.

From over here in the Uk, it's great to watch your videos to see grass from all round the world and how it reacts. Really good to see the stolons and the sinks.. great way to explain.. thanks :)

Bravo on the “Stolon” puns my friend

The church zoysia looks tight man! Excellent work sir. 😎👊

My st Augustine was laid by professionals last fall. I have 8500 square feet of it. The catch is I live in Okinawa Japan. I have struggled with various fungus issues since the beginning. I use milorganite, Scott’s Disease X, and other products I can order through Amazon! I could use some help for sure!

Awesome video Allyn. Nice explanations of St. Aug and reasons for browning. I was a tad offended when you pulled the poor Bermuda out though. 😂

I have that My-4-Sons Sprayer. So far it has been the most reliable sprayer I've owned and has been the easiest to clean.

Very informative. Thanks!

Nicely done ✅

Allyn, you mentioned talking with the local cooperative extension service with some help in these areas. Our local U of Fla office in Seminole is closed due to Covid. I'm sure other offices are closed also.

Good vid Allyn ✌

LOVED the sprayer dance :)

Sometimes I spray angry.. but didn't want to admit it.. glad you covered that part 🍻

It's amazing. To us in the North, that St. Augustine looks "alien like". Crazy. How different that looks compared to KBG. It looks really tough and durable as well as self healing as you mentioned.

At least you don't have pythium blight on a newly seeded bentgrass putting green like I do. I sprayed Banol today, and will spray Subdue Maxx in 7 days but I've had Pythium blight before and had it be terrible! Very expensive fungicides but hopefully I have better luck this time and the upcoming weather is dry and moderate.

2 years ago I though the wild cats kept peeing in the same spot. It finally went away. It came back about the same time in the same spot the next year. I knew it wasn’t pee. I treated with an 11 and a 3 and it worked well. It’s back again so I just treated it again. Same area. Glad to know I’m not crazy. Next year I think I’ll do a preventive.

I been having a big issue of first Fungus then followed by Army Worms. The army worms are terrible! Within 2 weeks killed most my saint augustine. I was able to finally get rid of them with and the stallons are ok. Slowly coming back to life.

"HONEY, He's dancing in the lawn again."

Help for your video help me a lot.

Awesome vid, also love that hat!

Dang missed the date would love you coming over to Hillsborough county and giving me just the tip.

I had this in my St Aug down here in Australia but super bad had to use a product called mancozeb about 3-4 times just to erradicate it but its been smooth sailing now starting to see the light at the end of my lawn goal tunnel

Well done Sir! I have messed with Rhizoctonia on SA and Zoysia for many, many years. Here are a couple of points to consider as well. Being soil-borne, it will likely come back (in those same areas) year after year. Secondly, most all product labels say to re-apply product every 14-28 days (or similar) until symptoms disappear. This may require several apps... which can get expensive.

I learned from a great teacher that humic acid and cold water sea kelp can aid in disease recovery. 😉😎✌️💪 wishing you a speedy recovery bro

Great title!!!

Omg. "stoloconstrictor." Almost had coffee come out my nose. Lol.

As always thanks for the GREAT INFO! After you "spray and pray", would you MULCH or BAG the next few mows???

I used Malorganite for the first time last month per your suggestion.. I never knew that it was so affordable and my new grass seed has went nuts! I should have listened a log sooner lol

I have Bahia lawn but planting St Agg in to take over.

Here in North Texas a lot of us are Neil Sperry followers. He has described you problems with the fungus many times, plus chinch bugs.

Powa constrictor with atrazine is labeled for Bermuda grass in Saint Augustine. In has to be done in the Spring. ethofumesate 42% and atrazine will work.

I was just looking at this very same thing in my lawn and ws dumbfounded. It did not have the usual pattern an was going to do as you suggested with dethatch and little nitro. Ha! Head nod to LCN the Sensei of lawn care

Wow that Stolon is wild.....I have heard you always mention that growth pattern but to see you go down and pull one out is crazy to see. SO is that how it grows all across your lawn?????

That was a helluva mix! 🤙🏼😎

propiconazole is also a growth regulator. Those spray angry spots may grow a little slower.

I still dream about that ol Torro TimeMaster🤔...

I don't have St. Augustine grass, but I find this fascinating. :)

Allen, you da man!

Can't wait to see the results. Brown patch be gone. :)

I'm in Wisconsin I get lawn rust every year in late August this year I sprayed propiconzanol but still have the rust powder on my mower when I'm done

Hey Allen I’ve been watching your channel for years and thought I should say I love your videos, but this time I need help. For the past 3 years I’ve been trying to grow grass in my front yard and had zero success it’s expensive to keep trying over and over for it just to get taken over by weeds or die. My last run I felt extremely good about it watered it daily was looking beautiful then it still started to die, I was trying to understand why it wasn’t taking, my front yard faces east but it’s about 1200sq on a slope that’s about 65 degrees. When it started to die it began at the top then eventually the entire yard, so I was thinking it’s a water problem because the bottom still looked great, so I started watering the top more but it wasn’t working shortly after I lost all hope the rest of the yard began to give way. The thing I left out is the sun up top it’s full sunlight and I’d guess about 3-5 hrs on the entire yard, you think a company would be willing to do a full renovation for product promotion? Or would you be willing to help? Either way thanks for beings cool

You’re climbing up your subscribers, almost 400k! 👍🏼👍🏼

Milo+green county+the lawn care nut+me+zoom= smells like success

My st Augustine is looking better than anyone’s in my community, but that’s because most everyone scalps their lawn when cutting. My only problem is I’m starting to get poa annua in some of my yard. Love the 8-1-8 from your website I have been using it religiously

I really want to learn more from you!!!

My Home Box store had one bag left. I was the lucky last Disease EX bag guy 🤨 I think Allyn causes shelves to empty 🤣

Allyn the missus just asked mate ya viewing Allyn again(she knows your voice) yes mum, next comment, no ya cant get that sprayer maybe Christmas, so now me wait. Thanks again mate top shelf stuff. Have a nice holiday cheers!

Spray Tips please... I have the SOLO 418i with carbinite extendable wond

We need that hat on yard mastery website 🙏🏻

Sylvester Stolon!!!! Love that im gonna steal it hahaha

would love to know where to get the beautiful red/orange edging you have as a divider around your house and palm trees. might mention them in next video

Stolon constrictor!! That is amazing.

Dont mount sprinkler head directly to the irrigation pipe. Use a swing pipe. Fixes the problem of being ran over and breaking.

South Texas here. Got st Augustin front lawn and No matter what I do has brown patches everywhere. Any way I could send you photos for some tips on how to fix the problem? Much appreciated!

Great and fun vid. Would you recommend this same strategy of eliminating thatch on a Bermuda lawn in lieu of actually dethatching and ripping up stolons?

Just want to say thank you. I always had the naive idea that the professional grass growers never have issues. and your videos show me that no lawn is perfect and that any issues that arise in my lawn can be managed. So thank you for helping my lawn grow. Question: Do you feel the 4 week cycle of milo is a little to long? I notice a lightening of color at the beginning of wk 4. could just be the infancy of my soil only beginning to be healthy but just something i noticed. would you recommend a offsetting a light app of ironite to maintain a healthy color? (hope that made sense, plannning ahead for the spring, (cool season))

In your video on how to fix brown patch, you mentioned to wait a week before spraying/applying nitrogen. On this video you mention wait 2-3 days after treating with Scotts DiseaseEX. Which is better wait time?

Brown leaf spot is pretty common down under on buffalo grass (st aug) particularly in the warmer mths on the east coast

Just let me know when your going to head this way to advise me on my little patch of heaven ...... I'll have the craft beer on ice and we'll get after it. Im in St. Pete so it's just a hop and a skip.

any plans to try a double tip wand extension?

I would love to be a Milorganite user but at over $18.00 a bag, it's out of my price range. Please do a video on the Quiet neighborhood movement; that is the use of quiet yard equipment. I work nights & I'm often woke up by loud yard equipment in my neighborhood! :-)

My St. Augustine is dying. Thought it was dormant, but the bare spots are getting bigger and spreading. I barely have any grass on one side of the house and on the backyard. Lots of yellow and brown blades and completely bare spots. We have check for bugs, the irrigation is once a week for an hour each zone and they are all working. It's been raining every day, which I thought would help, but it's getting worse ☹

Allen- what do we do with the brown grass in yard? Take it out before treatment? Ty
