I’m about to plant my runners in the ground tomorrow! I took a bunch runners and put them in a bucket! I even did that for a few brown ones and they all have roots! I’m excited to see how it all turns out!!
WOW! Thanks for this update. I tried planting runners and was not successful. Now I know how to plant them the right way and can’t wait to try it. Again thank you 👍🙂
@@thesecretgarden6948 so you leave the fresh cut runners in water for two weeks? Then plant the root and leave the top of the runner sticking up over the ground?
@@thesecretgarden6948 amazing ,I put the runners in the water and grew white roos lol,I have a question. I planted three rows they are growing beautifully But the 3 rows that I planted,will the rows spread and cover the spot completely??? How long does it take for them to actually start spreading???
What was your issue? Did you wait to plant them until you had long white roots? Were you planting them in a shaded area or sun? Did you water them every day?
@@thesecretgarden6948 I did soak and plant them with long white roots in both sun and shade. What I've learned here that might make a difference is to have each piece rooted on both ends. I've got some St. Augustine 'sod pods' planted now and am watering them every day to establish them, but could use some free grass for the lawn's bare patches. We have a lot of runners!
Thanks so much for making and sharing these videos! I have had my runners submerged in water for a week now and they are looking a little brown. Still green, just not as green as when I cut them. In your video, your runners that grew roots look green, but it also looks like you didn’t have them fully submerged in the water? Does the grass still need air, and only the root area should touch water? When to have time, please let me know! Thank you!!
wow. I yesterday put some in two buckets from my yard fro seeing your video, but I also tried the other way of just taking some(I ran out of space) , and put them in some top soil with starter fertilizer, and watered it in. I also had some runners near that area from my other grass so I spread little of that top soil near it as well. I will go water again maybe around 11(a few hours from now) to make sure they dont dry out, since I did this last evening.
Oh! So i can buy a square sod thingy and cut it up into smaller like plugs and that would be a cheap way to help make my st augustine lawn better? I was quoted $3k for to resod but i have patchy good areas. Please help because i just bought a home and im broke now. The problem is i have Bermuda from the neighbor creeping into my st augustine lawn. Should i use roundup to kill the Bermuda so my st augustine grass and overcome it?
Great video!!! Still having trouble with mine still have the yellowing and grey leaf issue, I’m going to add disease ex again or not sure of doing a liquid fungicide , what do you think?
My neighbors lawn in Bermuda and mine is st Augustine. Bermuda took over the st Augustine on one side, do you have any recommendations on how I can grow back st Augustine in that thick Bermuda area ?? TIA
If you follow proper fertilization practices and cut very high you have a shot against Bermuda, especially if it’s somewhat shaded. If you cut low the Bermuda will almost certainly win.
What type St Aug is this? Reason i ask is i heard that Palmetto is best shade loving turf. Noticed that urs looks kinda shady. I'm in Kentucky and ordered some expensive Palmetto plugs for shady areas and hoping that they'll take off despite our colder winters. Urs looks great!
Thanks for posting a follow up! Looks great! I’m vloging my st aug palmetto plug grow. Did my whole property. Love to get your feedback. I’m have one vid posted and loading another tomorrow.

So you leave the fresh cut runners in water for 2 weeks?

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I'm giving this a try now.
I'm impressed! I've tried to do this myself without success. You've given me Hope! Thanks for the follow-up!

You are welcome! Thank you for watching it
Thanks, obrigado, gracias !
Greetings from 🇧🇷 ✊🏻👍🏻

He linked the video of planting

Nice deal. Propagating is a good approach
A half inch+ of sandy loam (not top soil) helps glue it down and maintain moisture.
Great video!!! Still having trouble with mine still have the yellowing and grey leaf issue, I’m going to add disease ex again or not sure of doing a liquid fungicide , what do you think?
Can you email me a couple pictures of it? Close up on the blades and also farther away?
@@thesecretgarden6948 I will
That looks great
Hi mate , do the runners / stolons , create new plants / stolons and so on ? Thanks
Looks great!!!
My neighbors lawn in Bermuda and mine is st Augustine. Bermuda took over the st Augustine on one side, do you have any recommendations on how I can grow back st Augustine in that thick Bermuda area ?? TIA

Hi Friend,
I have Bermuda growing in my St. Augustine will it eventually get choked out.
Mow tall and the st Aug will choke out the Bermuda
Thanks for the vid. How long did it take to fill in?
I think it was 10 months.. Thanks for watching!
I live in NorthTexas, is the a preferable time of year to do this? Thank you!
How long did you wait to see this result?
about 10 months.

Thank you! Mine is Raleigh
Wow!
What color did you use on the fence?
How long did it take to fill in?
11 months
Does st Augustine like shade?
6-8 hours of sun light but I have it shaded and it does well.
So the runners will spread and fill out the gaps in between the grass?
yes
@@brenthill5596 thanks! How long does it usually take to spread?
@@CLifemusic Keep it fertilized and watered and it should grow pretty quick.
@@brenthill5596 thanks, the ones I planted are growing .I'm just Waiting for it to sprezd.
is there a particular fertilizer that you recommend??
Thanks for posting a follow up! Looks great! I’m vloging my st aug palmetto plug grow. Did my whole property. Love to get your feedback. I’m have one vid posted and loading another tomorrow.
I am going to go watch it now!
Wat are runners?
0:55 you don’t gotta buy.
I had a beautiful full St Auggie lawn til my spouse hired these idoits with a zero turn mower
