I overseeded my St. Augustine this past fall. I did so because the grass was damaged pretty badly from a combination of chinch bugs and Texas drought. I was told that the rye could add nutrients to the lawn and give the Augustine a fighting chance (but comes with the risk of hurting it during the regrow phase in spring, which we are now in). A lot of the brown is from recently dead rye as temperatures heat up. The front yard is currently mostly rye with a few Augustine runners. The backyard has several runners but is still in bad shape. I added Scott’s turf builder weed and feed about 6 weeks ago and nitrogen about 3 weeks ago.
Wondering if I need to resod, add plugs or wait a little longer for more signs of life? Help!
