May 25, 201412 yr I understand of course that all grass needs mowing...but can anyone whose laid a good serviceable turf let me know the name and perhaps where I can purchase? I was thinking of some kind of carpet grass but not sure....I'll be away for a few months on end and prefer something that doesn't grow tall...
May 25, 201412 yr i am told ya-nuannoi is a slow grower and tolerant to drought and low temperatures. In english its called manilla grass, zoysia matrella. It likes sun but not great in the shade. Its the turf they use on a lot of top golf course fairways where slow growth is one of its advantages. Edited May 25, 201412 yr by sandmonster

However come the rainy season I am mowing it every 7-10 days.
May 25, 201412 yr Yaa Malay is what I hear. It looks like a grass in the southern wet climates of the States. You can't kill it unless you try and it grows horizontally instead of up.

They look similar but are not the same.
May 25, 201412 yr If we don't get rain soon you will have no fear of growing grass..There will be Nothing but dirt and dust

May 25, 201412 yr back in 2007 laid over 1 rai of grass we sucessfully used malay for shaded areas and nua noi for sunshine areas,and some 7 yrs later both varietys are looking good and strong ,but we do have a full water sprinkler system both can be easily purchased at the flower/garden centre behind testco,super highway,all have a nice morning

It has been fine. Despite regular watering I have not cut it for over 2 weeks and does not look too bad. Last year, after a month in the UK, it was nor nearly as over-grown as I expected. I will shortly lay another 800 sqm and I am contemplating using Malay turf as this is a darker green. Importantly, it has still grown in sunny areas. I buy from Nakhon Nayok at a fraction of the local cost. Last year the 800 sqm cost me around 16,000 Baht including 3,500 Baht delivery. Edited May 26, 201412 yr by Jip99
May 26, 201412 yr http://www.fao.org/ag/AGP/AGPC/doc/Gbase/DATA/PF000507.HTM Your link shows indeed that it's the same grass,so I have to retract my comment. However when I visit the grass farmers they have always both varieties available, and one has slightly smaller leafs than the other .
