I use a pump up sprayer and my lawn is Centipede. I was overrun with nut sedge after a hurricane and it took 4 applications to destroy the weed. That was over a year and a half time frame. Just now we are using it once again for a wild violet that blew in during wind gusts. So far one application has withered the outer leaves only I see fresh shoots starting. Unfortunately the day I spayed this area had a cloud burst, where else but over my lawn. I hope someone who has St Augustine will share their findings with you. As far as the Image goes in controlling weeds, I don't use anything else. This product works if directions are followed as stated on label. Scots001.

It will be to harsh and you will injure the plants up close. This is great to clean the drive way or water the grass from distance. The price is great for what it is.

Yes! I have a different variety of grass in each separate area of my yard, and the reel mower does especially well in the areas with thicker grass like St. Augustine.

Yes, the product is safe for Floratam. I have used it for 3 years and use a 2 gal. pump sprayer. Follow directions about how much per gallon. It is a slow kill over about 1 1/2 weeks.I don't recommend using it when the temperature is greater than 90 degrees, but at higher temperatures it is safer than most weed killers.

I have know idea because we don't know anything about St Augustine grass. We use on Kentucky Blue grass and it does a fantastic job on the crabgrass. We use each year in early spring. I'm sorry that I can't help you further.

Hi Sandy, I used this product on poison ivy that was on my fence and on part of the lawn. There was no damage to my grass. I guess results may vary depending on what kind of grass it is.

No, this product does not harm the grass even if directly sprayed on the grass! It's a great product!

I read a little further, and it lists a number of warm-season grasses that are tolerant to the product. The list includes St Augustine.

No. According to the manufacturer, this cannot be used on St. Augustine. ( see here: http://www.bayeradvanced.com/lawn-care/products/all-in-one-lawn-weed-crabgrass-killer ; disclaim er on Pg. 3 of product label )

It is safe for grass and all plants. I have applied it to my slate patio with grass in between and to my wooden deck. It worked effectively on both with no harm to plants

In my opinion I believe it to be safe, I've used it on dry grass with no problems.

We use ours to cut Bermuda Grass which it does fine. My wife who is the turf expert thinks it would cut St. Augustine if you did it on a regular basis, and didn't let it grow tall and out of control. It works well for a small area.

No, not to my knowledge. In fact, it would make sense to me that you don't water the grass. You want the liquid to adhere to the weeds and watering prior to application may lessen any adhering properties. You can always call ortho to be sure though. Good luck!

Based on all that I have read it should be safe. I do not recall a warning for garden use. Ultimately, I think the manufacturer may be best suited to answer your question definitively.

Atrazine is a very effective weed killer for St. Augustine grass. Be careful though, it will kill many other grasses. From what I can tell, you can't buy St. Augustine seed, but have to plant sod or plugs.
