> Dichondra does require much more water than grass.

(SORRY FOR THE UPPERCASE, MY TERMINAL HAS GONE BANANAS).  PERHAPS
DICHONDRA ONLY REQUIRES A LOT OF WATER COMPARED TO GRASS IN SUNNY
AREAS.  MY FRONT (QUITE SHADY) LAWN NEEDS MORE WATER TO KEEP ITS
CURRENT BERMUDA GRASS (ICK) NON-DORMANT THAN IT DID WHEN IT WAS DICHONDRA.
I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT THE DICHONDRA, AFTER BEING CLOBBERED BY FLEA BEATLE
A YEAR OR SO AGO, IS NOW STARTING TO CROWD OUT THE BERMUDA GRASS.
