This may not be a grass for you but it sounds so interesting I thought
I'd make you aware of it.

Hi,

I have a home in Atlanta. The lawn pretty much torn up because of the =

that has been ongoing on the property. Most of the lawn is just plain =
soil
now. The lawn gets little direct sunlight, maybe a few hours a day. I=
am
pretty bad at maintaining a lawn. I'm frequently out of town, so the l=
awn
should be pretty resillient. I've heard three recomendations from sod
placed and from this group:

St. Augstine: Good in the shade, but won't handle the winter. I may n=
ot be
able to instal it now.
=

Fescue: Good in the shade, but very delicate. Someone who is frequently=
away
may not be able to keep it alive, especially in the summer.
=

Zoysia: Good year-round and OK for the shade, but may not be able to in=
stall
it now.

Are there any other options? I really would like to put something down=
but
I can't figure out what to do.

Thanks,
