Re: Thinking \'Bout Selling the B7500
Interesting that you planted what many consider a weed /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. I don't have K31 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. If you read some information on fescue you will see that many types of fescue are available that are more disease resistant, clump less, have a brighter green color, finer blade texture and are also more drought resistent. Such fescues are the Rebel family, Milineum and a host of others. K31 is by far the cheapest seed and is commonly available for many years. This is not a statement intended to hurt your feelings /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif, it is simply horticultural fact, I cannot help it, K31 is not a grass of choice for most interested in a lawn according to my research on the subject. I planted a blended fescue grass that is mostly Rebel with some Melineum and some other cultivars as well. The problem with my lawn is heavy clay soil, virtually no water, wind, heat and cold plus bugs.
Clover, hmmm, I remember when clover was considered a lawn worthy component. Now most consider it a weed. I do have white clover planted in with the fescue on my side yard and red clover in the back four. Yes, weed control chemicals do not distinguish it from weeds which is probably why it is now considered a weed as well. I reference the book, The "History of Lawns" and "A Man's Turf".
We humans evolved on the grasslands of Africa, we like grass instictively. J
