Ben teşekkür ederim!

Hi Daniel,

I contacted Mr Selim and other locals, but could not find a local native option. I used a type of bermuda grass recommended by locals, used local topsoil and manure and did hand weeding. This is as close as I could get to natural.

I think we should have a pebble garden instead but family members think otherwise

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

I could not find a native option but used a type of bermuda grass with local topsoil/manure as fertilizer. Also did hand weeding. That is as close as I could get to a natural solution.

Thanks  

Thanks Alin

I am glad you enjoyed Bodrum as well and yes, it will be great if you can send me your friend’s email. Thank you.

Thanks John. The water is very scarce in the area. Also I don't want to use chemicals, hence looking for something natural. Locals use bermuda variants and periodic weed control treatments which I want to avoid.

I have a vacation home in Bodrum, Turkey and trying to find a native plant mix for the yard that may look like a traditional lawn. The climate is hot and dry in summer, cool and wet in winter. The soil is also salty. Any tips are appreciated.
