I have a dilemma. Having just moved into the Gulf Coast area, I'm trying to learn about St. Augustine grass. In trying to determine if dethatching is helpful (or necessary even) here, I found a reference in a gardening book for the area that says DON'T thatch St. A…it cuts the runners. However, the LAWNGR.TXT file says thatch every 3 years or so. Any comments?? Is the depth of the verticut the issue? Thanks!
