H20fwlkillr, thanks for the info on Red Top grass. Our new pond & future home site is 1.5 hours south east of Kansas City (32" annual rainfall), and we are looking for a durable grass. We would like to mow the grass around the home but allow the grass to grow on the dam for the quail. Our watershed is larger than our pond, so the banks are flooded a few days every month and a half. Should we consider planting Red Top? How often does it need mowed? (similar to fescue?) One web site we visited stated Red Top's life span was 3 years. Is this correct? Any Info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Mark
