Zoysia will grow here, but I don't know how much further North it will grow.


Common Bermudagrass is the dominant lawn grass here, but it is also a noxious weed, creeping into gardens, flower beds, and expansion joints in sidewalks. Be glad you don't have to deal with it.


My golf clubs hate to deal with it when we head south to golf.

I have it figured out and really completely by mistake. I still had 60# of ammonia nitrate on hand. Thought I would spread it out before a rain.

I didn't realize the gate on the spreader was wide open when I started. Spread 60# in 300 feet. Thought the lawn was patchy before now its stripey too. Long story long just need to put more than just 5# per 1000 square feet. We need at least 20# per 1000.

Cheers Don.
