Re: [SG] Zoysia Grass

Although I am not familiar with Myer's Zoysia specifically, I too, am
not a fan of Zoysia.  Here in St. Louis, Zoysia capital of the world,
we have an overabundance of those straw carpets.  I don't really get
the love affair.  It is a thick carpet of grass, but so thick,
sometimes, that it causes the lawn mower motor to repeatedly die.
Then it turns brown.  More trouble than it's worth, in my opinion.

Z6, it's snowing heavily and freezing rain is on the way.
