Drought tolerant, also shade tolerant, scorched-in-the-sun tolerant, grows up to about 9" around places that don´t get walked on, but generally is short, geese love it, keep it really short, stays green after a frost (don´t know about below freezing temps though), grows green even in sand, but no idea how long it takes to grow from seed, as we buy it in turves. It´s called Zoysia Japonica, Emerald.
Yep, otherwise known as Poopy hen Diploma.
Geese are smarter... they eat even more, but they only give an egg every other day, more or less, for a very short time!
They need a PhD to get a job!
