Sod webworms have always been something I’ve heard about but have never seen in person. Well, I got a first hand experience in my centipede lawn. Look out S. Louisiana. Seeing lots of damage in the neighborhood. Time for some Bifenthrin before dark.
Nik is starting his second season of spring beauty (Claytonia virginica) seeding study in bermuda home lawn. In preliminary trials we had very low germination of commercially available seed. Nik developed a harvest method so that we have a local seed source with acceptable germ.
