Bermuda and St. Augustine grass are completely different in fertilizing and mowing requirements. Also, many things that attack one does not seem to bother the other. When I lived on the gulf coast, almost everyone grew St. Augustine with a sprinkling of zoysia or Bermuda. Here in NE Mississippi, most grow Bermuda, a few zoysia, and a bit of St. Augustine grasses.

I know there is a difference and have had experience with both lawns. But you say your neighbor has St. Augustine and has the slime mold as do you growing Bermuda?

None of our fungicides actually kill the soil-borne fungi. They only keep them at bay from making the lawn look ugly. The fungi also never kills the lawn unless you mistake Take All Patch for fungi. Fung-Away is supposed to kill the fungus. That is the item recently allowed back on the market. Good luck.
