Try watering your lawn.

That has been restricted for many of us in PA due to the drought.

Then you'll get drought tolerant grasses.


Not at all trying to be a wisea** here tnom, but are you saying that what
survives will be the drought tolerant grasses? ...


Well, pretty much by definition...

There are many levels of "drought tolerant". Some of the newer hybrid
fescues and bluegrasses are less water-demanding than older traditional
varieties. For really drought-resistant varieties there are things like
buffalo grass. What would be appropriate in wherever you are is
depending on where you are (DOH! ) and soil types, etc. Your local
county extension agent or state agricultural school is probably the best
starting place for local recommendations.
