Re: Olivier's Lawn-substitutes

Ahh the wonders of drought tolerant plants. Nice article BTW. I have some
comments, Zoysia has been used in Japanese gardens for quite a while to give
a bumpy textured look to distant "meadows" and hills. Ive seen it and to me
its only really good as small plots, not the large expansive lawns we would
all like.And carpobrotus was a big mistake especially since it tend to crowd
out those natives that look better and are much less coarse. As for a lawn
native grasses would be nice but they are clumping and you would need a lot
of seed to get a nice lawn. But as an uncut meadow the stipas and Native blue
rye would be very nice IMHO. I didnt think it was so but there is a native
oat grass that clumps, is perrenial and i think its nice.
