Not much going on out there, so let’s look at an article from a couple weeks back. SeaIsle grass is a type of grass that can actually be irrigated with salt water, making it an ideal grass for oceanside courses. Golf courses in Australia are considering planting the grass in an effort to maintain a higher quality turf.

Developed in the United States, SeaIsle grass can withstand heavy traffic, requires very little fertiliser, is drought-hardy and, when it does need watering, will cope with grey water or even sea water that would kill other plants. It is not invasive and does not like shade.

The plant geneticist who developed the grass, Dr Ron Duncan, says that with water of drinking quality becoming more scarce, SeaIsle’s ability to thrive on grey water and brackish water makes it an extremely environmentally friendly product.

Further information on the grass can be found here.
