So, GM is finally making that 'grass'-based vehicle from "Up In Smoke"?

It was a hybrid. A cross of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about it is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus. That was the scene that popped into my head when I saw the title. The best low budget movie ever made. How about a Fresca?

Obviously, you can't hear Chicken Little screaming. It's a perennial, and hybridizes easily, and is immune to Roundup, so it's going to take over the world. It will kill off all other plants, including Kudzu and crabgrass, so we're all gonna starve to death. /sarc...

I gotta get some of this stuff. Since I have been helping my mom in the evening, taking care of the lawn is the last thing I have time for. What used to be the best looking lawn in the neighborhood is now overrun with crabgrass. It will take quite an effort to restore. I wonder how winter hardy his stuff is.

the lazy man's perfect lawn
Check this out, I'm going to start converting my lawn next spring: Buffalo Grass
3 to 5" tall, needs little water once established, and can handle Nebraska winters.
