Do you have a link to this tall fescue with 2-3' roots?

I've used a tall fescue called "crew cut" which is said to
have up
to
18 inches of root and 13 inches of mature hight. 3 foot...
hmm, do I smell

It might be a pasture fescue, would you plant that in
your lawn?
Tall Fescue was derived from a weed grass. You can find it in
the Ortho weed book.
Scotts has finally come out with a tall fescue, Rebel II is a
label you'll see, and I seem to recall a company named York
having a product. You must read the labels, looking for "tall
fescue" only in the mix. Other fescues won't help you.

You don't have to tell me what turf type tall fescue is. So I
ask you again..Do you have a link to this tall fescue with
2-3' roots?

Oh, so now it's 3 to 4 foot roots on tall fescue. Bullcrap.

FYI Mr. Plummer, if you disagree with steveo he will attempt to find
out your address and harass you. He has done this a number of times in
the rec.radio.cb NG even going so far as to go to peoples houses and
take pictures and post them on the internet without there permission.
He does all this while hiding his identity so they can not retaliate..

He's right. Here's a pic of his wife. ::shudder::
