What can I fertilize St. Augustine grass to grow under the shade of oak trees???
My front yard is half shaded by oaks and half shaded by other trees; the grass
grows well under the other trees.

Would I fertilize with the same product under both shaded areas????

Dear Marsha,
Depending upon the variety of St. Augustine, some will grow best under the shade of trees, such as Floratine, Bitter Blue, Raleigh or Seville.
Under dense shade consider using a bed of ground cover such as English ivy, fern, dwarf jasmine or creeping fig. Use a good turf builder such
as Turf Builder made by Scotts. Yes, use the same fertilizer for both shade areas.
My best,
Stan
