Zoysia, water use, and fact checking
I saw an article in the Global Golf Post that states zoysiagrass "requires … less water .. than bermuda[grass]." I guess there's not much fact-checking in golf industry magazines, but that egregious error would have been corrected had the article been fact-checked.
I showed photos from a post on zoysia, water use, and fact checking, to show that when irrigation is restricted, and it doesn't rain---drought conditions---zoysia needs more water than bermuda to stay green and growing. The post is here: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/zoysia-and-water-use/
