In the few years I had it (I moved away afterwards), I never watered it,
except until it filled in (I used the plugs rather than seed). After
that, the morning dew seemed to be enough. YMMV.
If it wasn't for the yellowing in the winter, I would have it here in
upstate NY. I'll have to wait for global warming to increase. I'm 400'
above sea level, so I don't have to worry about the melting poles and
rising sea level. :-)
