Default Are these claims on Zoysia true?

Well let's see...after three days of back-breaking, on your knees work (no
the plugger gadget that they sent "free", that we threw away after the first
hole because it didn't work), two years ago, planting around 2500 1" plugs
in our backyard, then watering it every day for two weeks like it said.....

we still haven't got a clue where the Zoysia is.

I just saw an ad on the backcover of Pedernales Electric Co-op magazine
touting Zoysia as the "nearly perfect" grass. They claim that it hardly
requires watering, mowing, or any other care for that matter - weed

control,
disease, etc.
It claimed that it will even choke out crabgrass and weeds. According to
the ad, if I plant 1" square plugs in the soil at 1 foot apart, I will

soon
have a lush green Zoysia lawn that hardly requires any maintenance. It

just
sounds simply too good to be true.
Does anyone have actual knowledge or experience to voucher for or dispel
these outlandish claims?
