| Question: | "Please supply me with complete information on the type of lawngrass that does not need mowing." |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "To our knowledge the lawngrass that does not need mowing is not in existence or has not yet been discovered. One of the things that makes a good lawn is frequent mowing. There are some grasses that need less frequent mowing than others. One these is centipedegrass. This grass has been adequately described by Dr. G.W. Burton of Tifton, Ga., in the January, 1949, issue of the Southern Seedsman. Another grass which has possibilities for lawns and which will tolerate less frequent mowing than the ordinary turf grass is Zoysia. Neither of these grasses will produce a satisfactory lawn unless it is mowed at least occasionally. Lawns of dichondra on the Pacific Coast rarely need mowing, but this plant has not found adaptation in the Southeast. We suspect that your question was prompted by advertisements proclaiming "the fact" (erroneously) that centipedegrass does not need mowing." |
