Photos of TTTF Rhizomes

Post by Green » November 27th, 2017, 10:39 pm

People on here have asked me in the past to see photos of TTTF rhizomes from my lawn. These photos are from today when I was digging to edge around a mulch bed.

The first 4 photos were taken with the grass plant down on the floor of my patio.

In the 5th photo, I'm holding one of the plants in my left hand, and letting the others fall due to gravity to show they're connected. I took the photo with the phone in my right hand. Background is an exterior basement wall. It was impossible to include the ruler in that photo, but my fingers are there for scale.

Very interesting, I planted some Jacklin NoNet this year and hoping for the same. Did you specifically choose a rhizome producing TTTF?

Love those pics!

FYI I stumbled upon this interesting read today:

Not discrediting your findings (your photos speak for themselves!!!) or his (in the linked experiment); just an interesting contrast.

I don't know what Cultivar that is exactly. It's either Bullseye, Firecracker LS, Titanium 2LS, or a No-Net cultivar, because those are the ones I had used in that area in the past.
