August 15, 2012Q.Zoysia Grass and fertilizing
What is the best time to fertilize and should I put some lime over the zoysia lawn with a broadcast spreader? I live near Raleigh, NC.
Also, when is it necessary to dethatch? I've read about the liquid de-thatcher. What do you recommend?

https://extension.missouri.edu/publications/DisplayPub.aspx?P=G6706#MaintainingAs for dealing with thatch, regular mowing helps to prevent thatch from accumulating throughout the lawn. It also helps to limit the amount of fertilizer used on zoysia grass. This article may help as well: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/lawn-care/lgen/lawn-thatch-control.htm

August 15, 2012Q.Zoysia
What do I use to kill trash grass in my Zoysia and what type of pre-emergent should I use in the fall and winter to prevent trash grass from starting in the spring? Is there something that will kill St. Augustine without killing the Zoysia? I live in southern Texas near Houston.

Certified ExpertA.If the areas are not too large, you can try spot treating them with either boiling water or Round-up.

August 17, 2012Q.Zoysia Sod/Plugs
If zoysia plugs are set approxiamtely 6-8 inches apart, how quickly can I expect to have my lawn completed and the bare spots filled in? What about planting plugs amongst an established lawn of grass or weeds? Also, I live in St. Louis, MO and was told I have until mid-Sept to plant either sod or plugs, although from what I read on you site, you advise to start no later that mid summer. Any addtional info regarding this time frame would be appreciated.

September 13, 2012Q.How Can I Be Sure It’s Zoysia
Neighbors, and even some passing lawn treaters/experts, have told me it is fescue, bermuda, zoysia, etc. I'd like to see a picture of a shoot/blade, as it crawls into the flower beds, shrubs, etc. Any pictures or good descriptions available?

November 13, 2012Q.Soil Clumps on Lawn
My zoysia lawn, which I've maintained weed-free, is showing several spots of small soil clumps. What is causing this and how do I stop it?

Certified ExpertA.This could be anything from an issue with grubworms (if these clumps are dry in nature) or you could have worm mounds (if moist in nature), which are a result of earthworms--actually a good thing.
