How low (and for how long) does the temperature need to be before I need to worry about covering my outdoor vegetable garden? @jmusser, I'm not sure. I'm growing out of a peat moss/vermiculite/compost mix, not regular soil. I haven't added any plant food/fertilizer either. |

Can my lawn be saved or is it time to dig it up and re-sod? Thanks for the addition. Looking forward to having my interim lawn soon! |

Can my lawn be saved or is it time to dig it up and re-sod? This is an amazing answer. Thank you so much! I'm glad I asked before going through all that effort. I have a couple of followup questions if you don't mind: 1) I would like to have some green out there until Spring as you suggested, is there anything else I should do now before spreading Ryegrass seed? Should I rake out all the dead stuff until there's just soil left behind? I imagine the seeds wouldn't do too well tossed on top the current mess. 2) When should I plant the Ryegrass? Temps are ~90F during the day and ~77F overnight with light rain every other day or so. Thanks again!!! |

Can my lawn be saved or is it time to dig it up and re-sod? Another thing is that if I switch my backyard to something else like Bermuda, I'll want to switch the side yard and front as well. All the other lawns in the neighborhood are healthy St. Augustine and I don't want to be the odd one out. :) |

Can my lawn be saved or is it time to dig it up and re-sod? Sorry, the measurements in my original question were incorrect. Surviving grass is actually closer to 300-350 sq ft, so let's say the square footage we're dealing with is 1,500-1,750 with 1,000-1,250 of it in need of repair. I don't mind a hard day's work and I have a friend willing to help out. As for grass type, I'm reluctant to move to a different grass type because I've heard that St. Augustine is generally the easiest to maintain and does very well in very hot, very humid climates. This is the backyard so there isn't much foot traffic aside from doggy paws once or twice a day. |

Can my lawn be saved or is it time to dig it up and re-sod? I'd say about 15-20% of the backyard remains as a solid, thick, attractive, green carpet-like area of grass. A little bit of the brown area has a little shade of green in it, but the overwhelming, vast majority of the brown area looks, to my untrained eye, like it's totally had it. Some of it has even deteriorated to the point where I can see dirt. |
