Try a 100% rye grass if the area is to take that much
wear. It is very water tolerant and stands heat.

Dear Phyllis: I have forwarded your request to our local plant
and garden listserv. Laurie Treacher for UC Agricultural Issues
Center.
Subject: Can you help?
Hi, I live in Middletown, Lake
County, temp range 20F to 102F, I need a grass or ground cover that can be
sowed on to adobe, can grow over a septic system, live through 3
dogs. It will be the picnic area (back yard) there is not any shade
for the next few years, it has standing water in winter, and will have to
be watered in the late spring and summer, water from well does have med
amount of salt. I would like to find a cover for the dirt that is native,
but it does not have to be if there are not any good choices. Thank You,
hope you have an idea for me. Phyllis
