Not sure I read the entire article, because I don't remember that bit. I live in the southeast, and my lawn is decidely uncoddled. My zoysia grass is doing quite well, and I don't do anything to it, other than work on reducing its size. When I first moved into this house in fall 2007, my front yard was 50x150ft of nothing but lawn. I've added 10-12 trees to the front yard, with islands between them, numerous raised beds, and a 35x25 (approx) oval-shaped bed, as well. The only time I've watered this year was when my flowers started drooping.
