  To Zoysia or not to Zoysia

Peters, I also ordered the Z-52 zoysia grass from the magazine (Zoysia Farms I think it was) add and my wife plugged like over 5,000 small plugs. She got wore out about 80% of the way through and so was I so I just planted the rest in big 18" x 10" mats. The plugs all dried up and blew away. I called them back and they sent me an entire new batch. This time I planted the entire box in big 18" x 10" mats and kept them well watered. The took hold and every year they take over more and more of the yard. The dogs love it because it is like indoor carpet in summer and is warm to sleep on in winter. It is gorgeous when it is all greened up but goes dormant in fall and turns whiteish brown. The best feature about the grass is that it kills out EVERYTHING including weeds as it spreads.

With the weather we have had here in Tennessee the past 2 weeks (about 10 inches of rain, hail, tornadoes, winds) my grass is just totally out of control!!!! I guess that is a good thing. At least a year finally has come along with no drought. Nice to see everything so green. The John Deere F525 and the 4410 are getting a good work out and I am enjoying the seat time as well! Wink yeah right It is unbelievable how fast the zoysia grass grows and how thick it is this year.

Eric, how is the zoysia grass doing? With this crazy warm weather, mine has gone dormant about half and half. Should ought to be a good year for it next year with so much rain and warm temps. I don't know what the attraction is but the cats like to poop in it. Go figure. Have you got any pictures of it since you planted it?
