kiwiplymouth Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 A lot of the damage looks like BN damage to me. You should also think about going back to adding comprehensive and iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillskE Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 i guess i could, i only stopped as when i was adding the comprehensive and iron nothing changed and when i finish a whole bottle i thought it wasnt doing anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillskE Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 i think im sure that the bn is the cause for the sword but is it for star grass as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Cut the stargrass back and let it regrow new again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Cut the stargrass back and let it regrow new again. Not just 'Cut Back' Cut in Half and replant. It looks like the star grass is putting more effort into grow up wards so it isn't keeping the lower leaves alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 That would be cut it in half and replant the top half. I just used to hold it down with a rock because it is a bit of a tricky thing to plant the stems individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 It is like Rotala so if you do as you are told by the pointy stick it will send up heaps of side shoots and give you a new lawn. The bristlenose will love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
