I didn't pull up all them since this is how St Augustine spawns so tried to just remove the unhappiest ones  I transplanted some into the front yard where there is shade and they're already sowing.
We bought some Zoysia (Zenith) plugs to fill some trouble areas in the front lawn. From a sod farm in MD of all places (my husband's home state) so a little bit of home  Even came with an Agricultural inspection certificate, so felt very official
Whatever grass is in those spots now just doesn't thrive in full sun, so just want to balance it. I also need to add some sand overtime because our front has a lot of clay. Maybe I'll transform itself overtime, but it's not that important this year to have specific quantities of certain grass. More that it is "good", able to thrive grass.
I'm also debating a manual lawnmower... I'm not sure on that yet or if I've lost my mind It's more physical labor but I think that's kinda the point. I'm really enjoying Spring so far. Everything is spawning very lovely-like |
…it’s amazing how quickly a lawn renews and rejuvenates, isn’t it…even when there appears to be no green left, there is…we just have to tease it out…that’s such a lovely story and a personal touch to the garden to have that bit of Mr Maru’s home state in there, that makes it really special and a lovely thing to relate to little Miss Maru and why she also has to help take great care of her garden…
…the manual lawnmower…?…yes, Maru…you’ve lost your mind…!!!!!!!….
…I’m exhausted enough either the electric one…good luck though if you go manual…
