We’ve got some zoysia too

I thought nobody still used that crap. I remember when it was a big fad

... at least 40 years ago

That's that Asian lumpy like grass isn't it? I see that every so often but isn't it like for show not for actually walking on?

It’s a creeping grass. It naturally keeps most weeds out but it browns really early and greens really late.

Sounds like Texas grass. They should be embarrassed to call it grass--Its more like weed stubble.

I think the selling point was you wouldn't need to mow it. Goes dormant and looks awful in the winter.

And it sucks on a golf course.

We used to deliver that crap up here years ago. I'm sure it never made it through a Mn. winter. It was advertised in that little magazine that came with every Sunday paper.

Yeah I can’t imagine why many courses would use it

What the heck is that?

I don't know what this is.

That is the area between Southern grasses and Northern grasses. Fescue typically is the grass of choice there. Too hot for Northern grasses. Cold winters kill Bermuda.

Well now that I looked it up. According to Wikipedia it's the same grass you're talking about.

We are in Growing Zone 1. You have to be one tuff SOB to grow here.

at least you aren't in negative numbers

No. Zoysia is a nice grass to walk on. Almost doesn’t grow. Like you could let it go all summer and it might get 5-6 inches.

If I lived in Florida, Zoysia would be my choice. There are new varieties that are way better than older Meyer.

Nope, those are just the ones that cut it for us.
