New Type of Grass Sprouting

Hey, there’s a new type of grass that requires almost no maintenance . Called Eco-Lawn and created by Wildflower Farm founders Miriam Glodberger and Paul Jenkins.

Eco-Lawn is a blend of seven fescue grasses that are naturally insect and weed resistant.
It grows an inch a month and is so dense you only have to mow once a month.

No fertilization or water required because the root system goes 9-14 inches deep and in August your lawn will be green without water.

Apparently you can over-seed an existing lawn and it eventually will take over your existing grass. However, it will take 3-4 years to fully mature and develop as it grows slowly.

Eco-Lawn also helps carbon emissions because the lawn mower is only used once or twice per summer.

This sounds right up my alley

The cost is $29.95 for a five pound bag which covers 1000 sq. ft. of lawn and you can order it at www.wildflowerfarm.com
