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 a fish story ..? lol 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? Mind your manners, please. Here is a quote from a http://www.paulparent.com . Paul's credentials are on the home page of the site. "The next seed to germinate will be Tall Fescue the seed that makes your lawn look good all year long. This plant will produce a root system 3 to 4 feet deep into the ground to find water during dry periods and water bans. Tall Fescue will need ..." 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.. Hey WA3MOJ, why do you follow me around to different newsgroups like a lost leg-humping puppy? Do you have a lawn or garden question? Or are you just here to harass? It must be nice to feel loved :P Landshark -- Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming. |
