remember you are trying to grow grass on a sand dune!!!!!
No soil...no nutrients...no water...lottsa bugs 'n fungus...lottsa chemicals...then when you get it to start to come back the guy who cuts your lawn will bring the bugs/disease/fungus from your neighbors lawn onto yours...and you get to do it all over again.

We are here 8 years now. When the cold kills off what ever we have that is tropical I replace it with something native to the area that is cold hardy. As there are brown spots in the lawn that look like they aren't coming back...load of rocks and mulch and a new bed is born.

Looking forward to attaining the status of don't care if it freezes...or no water...it won't matter because it will still look good....and one he$$ of a lot cheaper.

But that is me.
