Tip 1 - Carpetgrass for Lawns

Published: 9 years, 6 month(s) ago | Submitted by Doug Bergquist | permalink

Carpetgrass (Axonopus) isn't the prettiest grass, but it will sustain growth in poor soil and shady, damp areas. Its medium-coarse texture and light green color are very similar to centipede grass. I like to say that it looks like starving St. Augustinegrass.
