Dichondra grass for sullies?

[LindaC]

We've always referred to it as clover, but dichondra is not in the clover family. It's taking over our yard, killing off all of the bermuda grass, and don't know if it's healthy for my tort to eat. Anyone know?

It's the other way around here in my neck of the woods...the bermuda chokes out the dichondra. If you don't want dichondra simply cut back on your watering. Dichondra needs much more water than grass.
