How does one encourage naturally occurring grasses to grow rather than the commercial ones they have for sale these days. I would like to go more natural. Suggestions would be appreciated.
I am not sure what is natural in my area, perhaps I need to investigate that further and see what some places suggest for my growing zone and the like.

I use them as ornamentals. Not something I mow. They need to be cut about once a year. They get about 3-4' high and about the same diameter.

Many counties have an extension office---usually an extension of a state university. These offices often have master gardeners on staff to answer such questions as yours.

Great source for all plant information AND soil testing, to let you know what to do to help things grow.
The natural grasses to your area will be a much hardier grass and will do well with minimal care... :smile:KennyV
Wow, 3 or 4 inches of diameter or length would be hard to mow, right? The extensions mentioned are a good idea. I once called such and they were friendly and gave really good ideas.
At Honey, you seem to already have a pre-formed idea about the naturally grass. Perhaps it would help if you mentioned what kind of species it is then suggestions can flow in faster, huh?
