Much like they are in now. During that time period, ben crehshaw started a turf production enterprise primarily with Prairie Buffalo initially then with 609 (that's six-zero-nine not six o nine), which I believe were both Nebraska varieties and propagated from sod or plugs. This was a big fad back then, low maintenance and low irrigation needed. I planted one lawn area with 609 which was an awesome blue turf which I allowed to grow uncut and mow once a month, looked like a prairie. Of course my neighbors thought I was nuts. Love buffalograss, I understand california researchers have some nice varieties. <br /><br />Look forward to your posts.greggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.com
