Is there any such thing???

I had a decent patch of english ivy going, and some St. Augustine.
She is a very active border collie and has killed it all. I have


bare

dirt where she runs. :-(

Any suggestions?

I have found that Tiff 419 holds up well to dog traffic. I have a


border

collie as well and you can see the trail, but tiff will adjust and


grow

very

close and dense to the ground. When it is first starting to grow I


made

some temporary obsticals that I could put in the dogs run path and


make

it

go around, giving the grass a chance to take hold and grow.

Awesome, thanks, but I've never heard of it!
Where can I get it and does it come in sod or do I have to plant seed?

Thanks!!!



I tried google.com, amazon.com, and eBay.com to buy Tiff 419 and came up
blank. I also did a search for "lawn garden" at google.com and then check
some sites out for Tiff 419... nothing!
So at one of the well designed sites I asked them to contact me. If and


when

they do i will post the address here.



I did a search for Tiff 419 , grass, Austin and this appeared among the
links.

It seems to be a popular golf course grass, so calling one of them might
turn up a more local supplier


Start calling garden centers near you. It's a bermuda, also called
"Tifway 419".

http://www.turfgrassamerica.com/ seems to have a place out on 290W.
