1.4 Turf Suggested Turf Seed Mixes As the City of Hume experiences low rainfall and hot summer winds it is often difficult to establish grass successfully. Generally, irrigation systems will not be approved for turf, therefore 'Dryland turf mixes' are recommended. The following lists are provided as a guide only. Developers are encouraged to contact specialist turf seed companys for advice based on the most recent research and developments. Location Mix General Non-irrigated Parkland Reserves & Naturestrips/ 60% Dwarf Tall Fescue- drought tolerant cultivars
