Carpet grass as pasture and lawn turf by United States Department of Agriculture
Carpet grass, a perennial creeping grass from the West Indies, grows across the southern coastal plain from Virginia to Texas. It supports stock near two acres per head, thrives in sandy loam with surface moisture, and yields seed even under heavy grazing. Optimal growth requires heat and moisture May to November, with heavy grazing and alternate fields recommended. For lawns, plant by sets or sod pieces, prepare deep soil, apply stable manure, and roll after setting to ensure snug establishment.
