Well, I'm finally done with all the work around our new house. The one thing left to do now is the lawn.

I've seen neighbours with rolls of turf. I haven't yet shopped to see what kinds of seeds can be bought here for growing a nice lawn. The one thing I want to avoid is mowing.

Does anyone know about a kind of grass available here that stays fairly short and does not require any mowing? Golf green short would be ideal The area is only 1 1/2 to two meters wide in front and on one side of the house. I'll add trees and plants afterwards.

Thanks,

Penz

I re-turfed my whole garden, we had that malaysian glass before but dug it up and had normal (thin) glass laid down.

Ask at the garden centres.

You must cut yourself to shreads when you try to get a little nookie in the backyard.

Hehe

The ants usually have invaded and discouraged me before the 3rd cut...

That thick-bladed grass is awful and dull coloured imo. Not sure about seeding but turfing is the way to go in los. If you don't want it to grow too fast, don't water it too often.

So what kind of grass did you end up using Penz?

Last time I saw his place there was still no grass

but he had a nice boat

BTW with his neighbour looking like she does I would be going for the kind of grass you need to mow twice a week.

she has had some trouble finding some mate, what with the crackdown and all

No, seriously we are all turfed up now, she even has some fish in the pond. I just got off the phone to her and she is at the market buying little flowering plants to go around the newly installed trees etc.

I will give you a call soon, perhaps we can have that beer at my joint while talking house?
