St Augustine is a weed but it is about the only thing that grows in
Florida. It is probably Floratam. They have plenty of chemicals to
keep this weed going but I won't screw with it. Too much water
required to keep it alive and too much maintenance (there are some
bugs that just love it). *Plant Bahia after it dies out from a drought
and get on with your life.

Bahia?? I hope that was a joke. Ok for pastures but definitely a bad
choice for a lawn with it's 12" overnight growth seed heads.
