Default Buffalo grass, any opinions?


Do you have any idea what is the minimum amount of watering necessary to keep it green in summer...once a month? I've
just read of a variety, Cody, whose range includes California...is anyone familiar with this?

I agree with Jangchub about the grass. It stays brown most of the summer
here in Kansas, unless watered or rained on. If you want something a
beautiful green, and don't want to water, that isn't it. Other than that it
is nearly maintenance free.

I live near the top of a canyon close to Los Angeles, Topanga Canyon.
Summers are hot, winters cold (by local
standards...a few days of 28 deg in the winter_this winter down to 18.5
deg). I'd like to have some grass in my yard,
but don't want to be watering it very much. The soil is claylike.
Buffalo grass looks like a compromise if it will
grow in this area. Does anyone have an opinion about this?
