Brown is the new Green!

We have a big back yard that was green only in the spring when we mowed the weeds that grew. Looking for a drought tolerant replacement to weeds brought us to Buffalograss. We prepared the yard the old fashioned way by pulling the weeds. At the time Goosie was alive and helped by eating the Dandelion. Also using BurnOut weed and grass killer made from clove oil, vinegar and lemon juice helped rid us of the existing weeds. (Roundup is bad!!!! It is used like crazy everywhere, but I called Roundup and asked them if it was dangerous to grazing animals (Goosie) & they admitted that it was for at least 2 weeks)  So please think twice 

before spraying Roundup. 

 We seeded in the early spring and this is what out lawn looks like now.

I love the tanish wheat color...  It's soft on the bare feet too!

Buffalograss is a fine-leaved native grass species that has prospered on the Great Plains for centuries. It has survived severe weather extremes and has evolved into a water-efficient, sod-forming grass of incredible durability..

Goosie being the wonderful pest that she was....
