How is it for wear and tear from kids/animals? Has anyone heard of it being
used in the north central Texas area? By Dallas? Is it expensive? Easily
available? Sorry for the shotgun questions, just curious....I've got half
an acre of bermuda grass, and an acre of...well...weeds. Trying to figure
out what to do....wondering if this would work in my region.

This grass is not for a lawn that has traffic on a regular basis. It will
only stand light foot traffic, and because of the height it needs to maintain,
is not for kids play area. The normal use of this grass is for border around
other plantings.

I'm sure it would be available in your area, but is very expensive ($2.49 per
2" square in my area) unless you do what I did, and that's buy a couple of
square feet and pull it apart into individual plants to sprig an area at the
rate of about 5 or 6 inches each way, wait for it to shoot out the underground
runners in each direction and produce many more plants, and repeat until there
is plenty to sprig the whole lawn. My lawn is about 60 X 80 feet, so it took
me about 3 years to grow enough plants to sprig 3 inches each way, then it
took 2 years for it to go weed free solid.
