i am planning to plant carpet grass for my home. The thing is some area will be covered by shades and i'm afraid will have limited sunlight. Which type of grass is suitable?

now, have to shower the grass every morning and evening, fertilizer, check on pesticide etc.. sad.gif

cow grass is the easiet one to maintenance..

I have about 4000 sf of pearl grass in my garden. They usually grow well under semi-shade, but leaves are longer and bigger for those area with minimal sun. They require a LOT of water to keep them from having 'burned' look. You need extensive daily watering during the dry season. Weeding is needed once a week once the garden is fully covered.

Grass Rm2psf = u need maybe 1000 for 500sf
Upah tanam = free, do it yourself, that's the fun of having garden.
Soil= make sure it's weed seed-free soil, the yellow one deep down.
Baja= no need baja, i never used baja. Be environmentally friendly, collect your overnight urine in a potty, mix 1 part urine per 100 part water and just pour on the grass before you water the grass. Afterall grass being leafy needs all the nitrogen from your urine.
Racun rampai= do it about 2-3 weeks before planting otherwise your grass will die.
Sprinklers= much needed tool
Drain cover and sewerage cover = 1 stainless steel sewerage cover around RM1000. Be innovative, just a piece of granite slab as cover, reinforce the bottom with cement + wire mesh. Cheaper but Probably need expert help with this.
Pokok paga= Much needed
Batu Sungai= Can get from Kampung. Cheaper but ILLEGAL!

By the way, if you are a pilot, 3300 for a garden is nothing..

now that's creative! using urine as fertilizer. I saw cheap plastic drain cover. not recommendable ka?

You probably need to replace the plastic drain cover very often, unless you get the uPVC type. Your grandparents probably use the same method to fertilize their vegetables..

owh..so the cost gonna be higher in the long run.. sweat.gif

I was qouted rm1.80 per 2 sqrfeet for taiwan grass in sg buloh. Is there a formula to find out the growth time to cover the whole lawn based on the lawn size and total grass patch sizes?

For my case, I wish to grass up 200sqr feet of lawn. Let's say I buy 100sqrfeet of grass patches, cut 'em up and plant em with equal distance from each other. How many weeks will it take to fully grass-ify my lawn?

i would say it will take months. not weeks. but it all down to how you take care of the grass. covering is one thing, maintaining is another. you have to continuously water, fertilize and trim the grass to ensure they grow equally. if not, there will be discoloration and others. not beautiful to the eye.

u can buy the grass patches to fit the exact size of your lawn, but u have to trim it so that it will not grow on top of the other patches. mine stop growing on top of others after a few weeks. having borcsh electric grass cutter helps thumbup.gif
