Is this a drought resistant grass? how long can you go once the grass as matured without watering?

My grass did very well and did not need additional watering after it matured. I will give a warning though that most of this grass is an annual type and will not re-grow after winter. I had to re-seed my front lawn last month.

No, the fescue that they they use is a hybrid and looks just like the Kentucky blue grass in the mix. My lawn looks like a sod lawn - best in the neighborhood and is very drought resistant. A terrific product. All those reviews that claim the product wont germinate are doing something wrong. It's easy to get this growing.

It's a matter of opinion. The actual grass does not wear out but it does build up quite a smell. The decision then becomes: can you clean it enough that it doesn't smell and at the same time not turn off your pet from using it.

What I've heard is don't allow Anyone or thing on the lawn until it fully dries. http://www.pbigordon.com/pdfs/Q4-SL.pdf

The grass started turning yellow within 10 days. I then mowed and it was gone. Dave

I cannot answer that question. I have used it very little, and not on new grass.

I am going to guess no . its most likely been growing outdoors and ship to you . I am in zone 5 borderline for 6 .if you grew it from seed then you must harden it off . I bought my last fall its just getting leaves now in my garden .its a late spring . enjoy your plant !

Lana, I am sure this reply is a little late. I live on the Texas coast where it can get very hot and dry. I planted the grass in the early Spring since I was afraid the hot summer sun would kill the grass. The grass did sprout, grow, and cover the dense shade area where I planted it. However, at the start of Spring of the next year I didn't have much coverage. That lack of coverage could have been due to poor soil or lack of rain. Hope your yard turned out well for you.

We used it this year in an area with NO grass- planted in March and reseeded a few weeks ago and it is full and soft and green! Just be sure to water a lot :) Good luck!

We gave up on the Dichondra. We're in North Georgia backing up to a wooded gully. I think we're zone 7. The Dichondra grows very well in the spring and fall. It does OK during the winter unless the temps get extremely cold -- 8 degrees -- like they did last year. Then it browns out. The problem is that during the hot, wet, humid summer it's overrun by crabgrass and the bermuda grass. Weed & Feed will kill the Dichondra. We tried Grass B Gone. It killed the grass but only for awhile. The Dichondra browned out from the Grass B Gone. It's very pretty if you can get it to do well in a sunny spot. We couldn't keep it going and it's too much trouble to overseed all the time. Hope this helps?

I have used it extensively here and have had no problems with any of my plants. You have to make sure you pull any weeds that are growing and then use it. I am almost virtually weed free. Have them pop up here and there, but almost 3 to 4 weeks after watering it in. We have those down by our mail box and haven't had a problem with Preen, but I live in 10 miles outside Tampa, Fl, haven't had any problems.

No. It has done well and I am happy with it, but some of it is still visable. Grass is growing well up through it.

I planted this grass seed last July. It is beautiful, but it's only in partial shade so I don't know. I'd call the company and find out. They were responsive when I called re another question.

I don't have any bent grass, but lots of other bad stuff...but 2-3 wks seems to be the cycle. And you can respray after 21 days if you do an overall spray.

I kept mine in the kitchen window (south side) and watered it lightly daily. It grew really good for awhile then slowed down to where it quit growing. I'm not sure if that's just how this grass is or what.

Mine is inside in Pennsylvania. It's outside now in 80 degree sunshine, and loves the rain, however I have had a few problems with it drying, it doesn't like full sun. I hope this helps out a little bit! It's a hardy plant. I've sat it out in the sun and it didn't rain for a couple days before I realized it needed water. The plant has grown back even when I thought it was dead.

Depends? If it is really hot outside and you leave it up for a long time Yes it has left our grass looking a bit burnt. We typically cut the grass a few days before we plan to put it up and then if it is dry out we use the sprinkler to wet the grass the night b4 in the area we plan to put the slip and slide up. We try not to leave the slip slide up for more than 48hrs. We use ours twice a year for big parties and have had it years and I still think it is worth the extra effort for those big events you want a WOW effect at.
