lawn grasses

The only lawn grass on the EasyBloom list is Kentucky bluegrass. I wish you'd add some more choices. The area I tested is too shady for Kentucky bluegrass but I'd like suggestions for other lawn grasses. You can buy shady lawn seed mixes so some kinds of grass must grow in shady areas.
Hey Ellen...I think that's a great idea! By chance do you have any specific lawn grasses in mind? --Robby
Why not make the most common varieties (top 20+)available - after all, the algorithms are already in place are they not?
Hey Chris...The algorithms definitely are in place, but the cultivation needs for each species of grass is what is needed. Those are the variables that fit into the algorithms. Also, I wanted to know if there was a specific variety of grass Ellen or yourself have in mind to help prioritize which cultivar of grass. I have a long backlog of plants that we are chipping away at. If I knew which specific grass or any plant for that matter, I would bump it up to the front of the list. I do wish it was easier to add plants, but there is quite a bit of research that needs to be done for each entry. I definitely would not want to add a new plant entry with cultivation needs that were not accurate which may result in sub par plants (or even worse: plant death). I hope this is helpful. If you do have any new plants that you would like to see in the database, please feel free to post in these forums. I read them all the time and am happy to accommodate our users. Cheers...Robby
Adding more grasses is on our "to-do" list. We currently do have several lawn grasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda and Ryegrass. I hope this helps you--
