Grow hay. Hay is ten times tougher and grows ten times faster than

probably work well for racing toy cars... and you'd need to mow it
every other day at a minimum, during hot wet weather mow every day.

What grass species are characteristic of those cut for hay that are
not found in common turf grasses? What specifically is hay seed so
that the OP can buy it?

Orchard grass, tall fescue, Coastal bermudagrass, bahiagrass, etc.
Tall-growing coarse grasses, but you probably don't want Johnsongrass
(and probably not red clover nor alfalfa.) Some white clover mixed in
wouldn't be bad.

Why the preference for white clover?


It hugs the ground. Red clover is upright; you wouldn't be able to mow it.
