This turf is tough on the toes

St Augustine isn't the best grass for running.

It doesn't help it is rife with tripping hazards as well.

Common wisdom says you can turn them off for summer.

But miss a few days of rain and it starts to "wither on the vine."


And that's not metaphorical description either:

St Augustine is not a grass, but a grass like vine.


Count that as another tripping hazard, too.
