My neighbor (I'm in Fairfax, VA) put a few plugs of Zoysia into his existing lawn a couple of springs ago. It appears to be spreading quite nicely. It's pretty easy to tell because the Zoysia patches stay brown late into spring, and go into dormancy early in the fall. Personally, I don't care for it at all. Then again, I don't much care for lawns in the first place. Suja |

That's because Zoysia looks crappy much of the year and can catch fire when
its dead and dry. Your efforts are better spent growing something more appropriate. "David" wrote in message om...

Believe it or not, but we've actually burned it while dormant to reduce thatch that buikds up over the years. Have seen this as a recommended practice by some authorities, but I'm no grass expert. Have read its highly touted for "green-types" owing to its drought and disease tolerance, lack of fertilizer and other chemical needs, dense stands prohibiting weed growth...We have half a front yard of it here in Queen Annes County on the Eastern Shore and its doing quite nicely. If you can tolerate its aesthetic issues (late to green, early to brown) and have sharp mower blades, you won't find finer grass (no pun intended g). Pat Kelly |
