- I've been neglecting my lawn this winter, and have noticed Dichondra
- has been growing in. I actually like the stuff (I like clover, too),
- but my book on Texas Gardening has it in the "weeds" section, and
- tells how to kill it instead of cultivate it.
-
- Do any of you have dichondra lawns? Are there any unusual problems with
- it growing too high, dying off in seasons, getting infested with bugs,
- etc.? Does it make a good lawn in (Austin) Texas? Are there any good
- sources on how to take care of it? The books I've looked at all focus
- on grass, vines, and floral groundcovers.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
