Tampa Jamur Zoysia Pics

Here are some pics of my Jamur Zoysia. As you will see, I dropped some Black Kow on some areas over the weekend so there are parts that look terrible.

The Good:

The Ugly:

This area is interesting because I have never been able to grow any grass what so ever here. You will notice that near the middle of the pic there is a PVC tube that is surrounded by a cement block. I’m not sure if there is something underneath, like a tank of some kind, but something is prohibiting growth. You can actually see some runners in there but it’s stuggling. I’m hoping the Black Kow helps out.

Just an FYI..I just sodded my yard this past October so it hasn’t been through an entire growing season yet. You can see there are still some gaps that are growing in.

looks good. The jamur seems to look alot like empire.

I wonder what’s up with the bad. Looks like enough sun to grow but maybe not enough sun to dry the blades off and prevent disease.

I have a new Jamur Zoysia lawn that was installed in November 2010. Most of the lawn is fine, but I have some areas that were dying off. So far, it appears that the underlying soil, and/or the soil in the sod itself, was compacted, causing the water to not soak in. If I hand watered, I could see the water just run off the area. I vigorously raked out the dead grass and used the rake to roughen up the soil. That made a difference and the water now soaks in a lot better. I then hand watered the area daily, treating it like new sod. The areas I have done this with are beginning to grow in. Hopefully, I have found the solution for my particular problem.

Just wanted to give an update on some of the areas I was having problems with that are in the links above. I went through about 2 seperate rounds of laying down Black Kow and it seems to be looking much better than it did before. See the before and afters below:

I also have one question for every one, in the pictures below you can see some Stolons that are growing in one area of my lawn only. Can you tell if they are actually zoysia stolons and not a weed? Also, do these “above ground” zoysia stolon’s actually go back into the ground and spread? I have yet to see this happen with any of them.

Can’t really see the blades on the suspected weeds. They should be easy to identify by the blades.
