[net.garden] Zoysia

Yes, Zoysia is great, but ONLY IF THE AREA IS A WET ONE.  You have to plug
it in over the years, thatch it each year, and water it alot.  It also takes
a strong back to mow since it it so thick.  We had a marvelous zoysia lawn
on Long Island, but despite it being one of the wetter places in the U.S.
it was still a bristly, yellow mess in the drier heat of August as well as
in the cooler months.
