My husband has this obssession with growing grass in our yard. You see we have lots of trees so our yard has a good bit of shade. Last fall we had 12 pine trees cut down, but it didn't make a dent. He has also resorted to tilling up the entire back yard and treating the soil. It works, but he uses so much water trying to make it work one time the water department called and asked us to check our house for leaks.
Right now he is concentrating his efforts on our front yard so everytime I walk outside I have to dodge the sprinkler. Last night when I got home with the kids I had to call him on my cell phone to come outside and turn off the water because we would have gotten soaked trying to get into the house. I have no idea of the exact total he has spent on this, but I bet I could have gotten that fence I want long ago.

We gave up on grass a long time ago. Now we are in the process of decking and slating most of the back yard. I wish we had more sun so I could grow stuff, but the shade is really nice in the summer!
WHy not just get some Zoysia plus? Cheaper in the long run and it likes shade and bad soil.
Oh the shade is great in the summer except I also live in mosquito heaven.
I'm no familiar with zoysia plus, but I'll mention it to him.
You can have some of our spreading grass. I have no idea what it's called, but it just won't die...
Or, you could dig up some of our pretty vinca, which blooms pretty purple flowers a few times a year, and will cover your whole yard if you let it...
