Green Lawn Gardening in Spain

Benissa Lush Good for a green vista that will require a little water but very little lawn mowing.
|
Benissa Green Good for that English green lawn, but must be kept in check, stressed and cut to keep the grass fine and low. |

Benissa Silver Grey Great if you want almost zero lawn mowing and watering. Ideal putting green grass to produce a cheap low maintenance putting green lawn. |
The Lawn Story so far by Greengrass
You CAN grow a real green grass lawn in Spain if you choose the right type of grass!! Most peoples’ experiences with real lawns in their garden in Spain, start with the expense of purchasing turf or seed. After the initial euphoria the drudge of watering becomes too much effort, and (generally to the detriment of the lawn) the watering is reduced to a minimum. This inevitably means that the finer greener grasses die and the coarser grasses survive until the next watering.
If you chose seed, then after daily attempts to keep the seed from drying out, the result (after the birds and the ants) is a disappointing, patchy solution that has resulted in disappointment. Then re-seeding to fill in the gaps is necessary.
Because of the deep roots, our grasses are drought resistant and thrive in hot, dry conditions. The lawn actually gets better with time. Once established, our grasses grow slowly and need much less cutting. They do not propagate easily from seed and therefore we propagate the grass for you, and once its established we then transplant into your lawn. You don't need any more than this for a wonderful green lawn in less than one season, and it can be much less.
My next article will be about ground preparation for planting a new lawn.
