Best Grass for a Full-Sun, No-Water Grave Site in Northwest Georgia

Q: What is the best grass to plant on a grave in northwest Georgia? Full sun, no water, no gravel.

A: Bermudagrass has the best chance but will struggle to germinate without water. Look for a product mixing grass seed with water-absorbent mulch (Pennington 1-Step, Scotts EZ Seed). Late next April, watch weather forecasts. The day before rain, go to the cemetery, scratch soil with a hard iron rake, scatter seed/mulch at the bag rate, press into soil with the back of a hoe. Keep fingers crossed, revisit in a few weeks, and report results.
