My yard has good grass everywhere except this area. Past 3 years all the grass would die off. I've put hundreds of St. Augustine grass plugs in over the years. Water them, and they'd grow great only to die off late summer.
Last year I finally figured out the problem. It was Doveweed, it's almost like a green carpet that will take over anything in it's path. After mass research I found Celsius WG Herbicide. It kills just about any weed, but won't harm St. Augustine grass, even if you spray it when it's in the 90's.
Over this past winter, I super fertilized just this area. I hooked a hose to my irrigation well and 2 impact sprinklers to water just this area. I haven't had any rain for at least 6 weeks.
The night of the 14th we had some serious rain. The well water had it growing OK, but that one rain made it go nuts.
