Saint Augustine grass ... you must live in hurricane country. Fla, the Gulf, someplace like that. I'm on the West Coast, and the green season is just ending. Oxalis is a small weed - you probably know it. It's cloverlike with three-lobed green leaves and the leaves are sour if you chew them. But since the sour principle is oxalic acid (poisonous!), chewing a lot is not real recommended. Oxalis throws runners Bermudagrass-style. You have to root it ALL up, otherwise the little bits left in the soil become independent taproots. I got most of it by spending interminable hours with an old butterknife tracing the fibers thru all the lumps of grass. Grunt labor, and the stuff kept coming back. Now I lay down Agent Orange, and I feel no guilt. Can you do hydroponic on an organic basis? That seems to benefit from a soluble nutrient broth, y'know like Miracle-Gro. And that is synthetic.
