24 days after planting (7/6/09):
35 days after planting (7/17/09):
From Dave Fujino, Ph.D., Executive Director at the UC Davis California Center for Urban Horticulture:
“As you can see on the Day 35 picture, the plugs are growing quite well. There appears to be less growth for those in the shade, but the shaded plugs are growing and look healthy. The 2 plots have been weeded and I was told been treated with Surflan. I am having one of the sites treated with EM (effective microorganisms) to see if there is a qualitative effect on growth and appearance. Remember that these plugs got off to a slow start, since they were sitting in a plug tray for more than a month. “

“I am hard to impress, but … I’m impressed…3 to 4 months establishing the plugs is a minor investment of time compared to the saving water and mowing time I’m going to be enjoying next year.”

Grass colorant for dormancy period
Posted in Lawn Pics!, Tips & Advice on April 29, 2009| Leave a Comment »
UC Verde Buffalo Grass does go dormant in the cold winter months, typically here in California that means from November to around February. Although it loses its color, it also means months of absolutely no maintenance – no mowing and no watering needed! But if you’d like to keep the appearance of a green lawn all you have to do is apply a grass colorant and it’ll last for up to 13-14 weeks! It’s pretty inexpensive, all you have to do is mix the solution with water, spray it on and let it dry. You can easily control how deep of a green you’d like by increasing the water to colorant ratio. Contact us for our recommendations at info@ucverdebuffalograss.com or 559-275-3844 or visit www.ucverdebuffalograss.com
Below is an area in our trial garden which has not been watered since last November! That’s 6 months of no water or maintenance of any kind!!! On the bottom half of the image you can see where the grass has been mowed back and the color has already returned to the lawn now that spring is here.
