发帖数: 34403 | 1 Zoysia grass problems
Invasive – Zoysia grass is a very invasive grass. The reason you can plant
plugs and not have to seed the lawn is because zoysia grass will crowd out
all other species in the lawn. Then when it has taken over your lawn it will
start in on your flower beds and your neighbor’s lawn.
Temperamental color – Another one of the zoysia grass problems is that
unless you live in a consistently warm climate, the color of your lawn can
go rapidly from green to brown at the first sign o... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 1709 | 2 Meyer zoysia also greens up one month earlier than Bermuda and most other
zoysias in Atlanta area. If I had a choice when buying the house, I should
have chosen Meyer zoysia even if it meant that I had to put down a few
thousand dollars more. With Meyer zoysia in the south, one could just mow
once a week in its growing season (at 3 inches to achieve high drought
tolerance and vigor) and do essentially nothing else to have one of the best
lawns in your neighborhood. You can google "zoysia" to fi... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 1709 | 3 As long as you live in the south and use an organic lawn care program,
zoysia has almost no disease or thatch problems. I have had Meyer zoysia and
Emerald zoysia for more than a year. Zoysia is perfect for going organic.
It grows dense even without the help of fertilizer and chokes out bermuda
and weeds (except St. Augustine) as it slowly expands its territory (so you
don't need pre-emergent); it doesn't like too much nitogen---perfect for
feeding it with corn meal, alfalfa meal, soybean meal e... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 1709 | 5 Zoysia grows dense even without fertilizer, and chokes out weeds gradually
as long as you mow it regularly. This is the property no other common turf
grass has. I had builder installed Tiff419 bermuda when I moved in my new
house. Weeds are always problems since I use organic stuff only for fear of
the never ending lawn disease, poisoning cycles. Organic lawn care builds up
the health soil and thus is an investment. However Bermuda is such a high

发帖数: 6568 | 6 when you planted the sod?
If you can't pull the sod up, that means the roots already set, they are
going to surivive.
when established, zoysia can expand upto 1 foot a year (depends on varieties
). So if you just have small spots surrounded by established zoysia, nothing
to worry.
Zoysia seeds are very hard to germinate naturally. It is much much eaiser to
use plugs, or small cuttings of sod to repair the lawn.
那小样我比较怀疑。 |

没救。Zoysia好一些。但也还是有不少看来没活过来。这个草好象比较金贵，据说
只能买草皮，没法撒种子？ 草神跟这种草打没打过交道？或者有没有别人种这种草

发帖数: 131 | 8 除了草皮，还可以用sprig。一般nursery的草皮都是从sprig养起来的。
zoysia归于暖季草，但在暖季草里算很耐寒了。
Zoysia japonica (Japanese Lawngrass)这个品种是可以用种子的。
另，结缕草最好一年至少打一次孔。 |

目前草坪好的家庭还可以应付过来， 象我这样杂草长过好草的，要把好草弄成气候得

发帖数: 1709 | 11 moja,
Zoysia shouldn't be planted in the north unfortunately since it's a warm
season grass. Even though Meyer zoysia will survive there, it's just not
nice to have a brown lawn in spring and fall while all other lawns are green

发帖数: 14763 | 19 I see where this is going and feel an urgency to set the context right.
Zoysia is from southeastern Asia, and thus a warm-season grass. It grows
slowly, but it does grow a deep root system. So, if you are not in deep
south like the peckerwoods above, stick with bluegrass.
To be perfectly honest, it still looks like weed to me. |

bermuda 在氮肥少时是竞争不过zoysia的。我的400sqf emerald zoysia
就是在3年前没有任何经验时在前院bermuda lawn 中间直接铺的，周围都是bermuda。
当时图省事先把bermuda剪到最短，用耙子松松土就铺下，什么
除草剂都没用。头两个月zoysia缝中全是bermuda，半年后缝中bermuda全没了。 现在
我后院的bermuda种了很多Meyer zoysia 补丁，希望慢慢变成zoysia lawn。
这些补丁都在扩大中。bermuda对于居家庭院是一种很糟糕的选择，主要是对氮肥的依
赖太高了。大部分的 bermuda lawn 都变成了化学品倾倒场。 |

发帖数: 7142 | 29 不带除杂草的化肥比 weed & feed 好。买有机的化肥更好。
我对热带草都没有什么研究，除了那个 Bermdua 让我非常头疼。
Zoysia & centipede 你都可以去看看。
我们这里有些人种 Zoysia, 但是也不是特别强，杂草一样在
里面长。有些人不是很喜欢 Zoysia 的样子，踩上去不是很舒服。
你自己找几个草坪看看喜欢不。Zoysia 一旦长上了很难去掉。
你就直接 Round Up 好了，然后种新的。 |

发帖数: 1709 | 30 You may google zoysia near you zip code, and order directly from the farm.
It costs about $150-180 per 450 sqft. I know people grow PALISADES ZOYSIA in
TX with success. The good thing about medium-blade zoysia is that there is
almost no weed problem without the help of chemicals, and they need little N
-fertilizer. If you do decide on zoysia, round-up your St augustine first. |

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004LYQNFM/1-b003homep2-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoysia
Because they can tolerate wide variations in temperature, sunlight, and
water, these grasses are widely used for lawns in temperate climates. They
are used on golf courses to create fairways and teeing areas. Zoysia grasses
stop erosion on slopes, and are excellent at repelling weeds throughout the
year.[4] They resist disease and hold up well under traffic. |

发帖数: 1709 | 32 不是特别赞同Taraxacum关于除杂草的办法。我搬到新家3年了。开始也像Taraxacum那
样，但事倍功半。后来在网上研究了很久，加上自己的实践，总结了些办法，在这抛砖
引玉吧。以下只对南方热带草而言。
！！！！！！对杂草没优势的草是不值得种的！！！！！
zoysia,st augustine, bermuda 护理得当，都对杂草有优势，是不需要费力除杂草的
。 zoysia抗杂草最优，bermuda最差。割草每周一次。浇水不要勤（不超过一周一次）
，浇就浇个透。
（1）zoysia的诀窍：a。只用有机肥，不用任何化学物。氮元素每1000平方尺每季不超
过2磅；b。割草高度最好3寸左右（这样基本不需要浇水），杂草自然被挤死。
（2）st augustine的诀窍：a。只用有机肥，不用任何化学物。氮元素每1000平方尺每
季不超过2磅；b。割草高度最好4寸左右，杂草自然被阴死。
（3）bermuda的诀窍：a。在最高气温达到80F才开始施肥。每月一次，每次至少每1000
平方尺1磅氮元素！ b。割草高度最好2-3寸左右. c。多施肥，不浇水，杂草自然旱死
，bermuda却能扛住。 |

发帖数: 7142 | 33 zoysia 也是比较狠的主，据说种了 zoysia 就没法除掉了。
St Augustin 和 Bermuda 掐肯定没戏。Bestlawn 上面

太浅。当然我的口味也比较偏。我喜欢颜色深的草。 |

远看是tall fescue颜色好看，近看我还是喜欢中-细叶草坪如Meyer zoysia, bermuda,
密，质感好。Emerald zoysia is always light green, but Meyer zoysia can be
dark green if you feed it with N. There is a lady in CA who had converted
her bermuda lawn into St Augustin. She almost never fertilizes it with N,
only using compost, sugar occasionally and weekly deep watering. |

发帖数: 219 | 35 你要是不嫌草坪冬天黄了的话就铺zoysia吧。一般不太用浇水的。也耐其他杂草的入侵
。管理起来比
fescue容易多了。Zoysia要等到春天再铺。所以现在不用着急打孔啥的。

发帖数: 8689 | 36 Zoysia, Bermuda, Centipede Tips •Time to apply preemergent weed
control on all established warm-season lawns. Call me for products.
•Fungicide: Zoysia, Bermuda, and Centipede lawns get an application of
fungicide in October (once soil temps lower to 70 degrees) to help reduce
the possibility of Large Patch. Remember, an ounce of prevention in the fall
is cheaper and easier than curing Large Patch in the spring!
•Do not aerate warm-season lawns in fall; wait until spring. |

给你三个考虑一下吧，你那地方不外呼：
Bermuda ，St Augustine, Zoysia.
你哪里现在晚上只有 50F.不中的。
现在肯定不是种热带草的时候，连寒带草都太晚了。
要种热带草明年春天，春暖花开的时候。
rye 是北方的草，你哪里不合适。
Bermuda 要经常割很低才能长得好的。超级喜欢氮肥。
St Augustine 和 Zoysia 都是要 plug 来种的，不能撒种。 |

发帖数: 630 | 38 都是clover,地不肥啊。
一定要把土整好，不然sod 后好草也被weeds overgrown.
现在就开始，从小的后院开始。kill all grass using vinegar instead of using round-up and then put some newpapers or cardboard to kill all and after 15-30 days, put and till some compost in and then you are ready to put the sod on top of it. Put some corn gluten meal for weed and feed.
Bermuda, San Augustine or Zoysia grass all good at Houston area. I personally like Zoysia, fine blade and dense. |

不去拔。 去年我就是这么干的，等天热了，往bermuda里施很多有机肥，就看到

北边别种热带草，冬天长，草地黄的太久。有人种 Meyer zoysia,几乎是最耐寒的热带

叶子宽度不一样，冬天颜色不一样。而且将来很难除掉。 |

主要靠割草高度（zoysia>=3in, St. Augustine>=4in)，少施氮肥来控制bermuda，因
为bermuda喜氮不耐阴。慢慢地bermuda就会被zoysia, st. augustine挤掉。 |

天还是比较热, 还好大概一两周会下次雨，所以倾向于Tall Fescue。不过领导倾向于
Zoysia，因为担心要经常浇水。我想我要是把地整好了，其实是相对可以说好浇水的，

有的地方黄太难看。

南方常见的是Bermuda, Centipede, Zoysiagrass.
Bermuda叶子细密，很好看，种的好的就像golf球场，比如我邻居家。但是maintenance
高，种的不好就杂草多，比如我们家。
Centipede最受懒汉欢迎，好种好活，看着也不赖，校园里大多是这种，我一个老美朋
友以前家里是bermudar,结果种成秃瓢了，现在搬家了是centipede,好几年了还是绿油
油的他很喜欢。缺点就是叶子比较粗，近看没有bermudar那种缎子的感觉。
Zoysia比bermudar更好看更娇贵，你要不是特勤快，就不要考虑了。 |
