Cost Sharing?

I almost pulled the trigger on buying a bottle of Revolver today...But I just couldn't do it. My local SiteOne had it for $630 a quart, 87oz for $800+. I *might* be able to find someone to ship it to me, but I'd still be out ~$400 and it would last me about 5 years easy.

I mean, in a perfect world, I'd get my hands on Manuscript, but at $1,000+ a case, no way. Doing the math says that case would last me nearly 300 YEARS!

Has anyone tried going in with others locally to split costs to reasonable levels for when we can get our hands on some of the good stuff?

Bermuda Find?

Pretty sure I found some naturalized bermuda. It could be a few other things, but I'm pretty sure it's not salt grass from the rhizomes and number of stolons. I harvested as much rhizome as I could and I'm gonna see what happens in a raised bed. If anyone has more experience with ID on this type of stuff, I have some more pictures. I did see a very small number of bermuda-looking seedheads in a few places, too.

If it responds well to being treated right, this could be awesome, because this stuff is alive in a place that hasn't seen rain in months, in deep shade, under old growth live oak and pine, in a ravine, and where it gets around 100° on the regular. Almost nowhere was it taller than an inch or so. If it really is this shade adapted and can stay this compact under cultivation, even without a PGR, I would be very happy.

The individual blades are mostly between 1/2" and 3/4" long and some of the internode spacing is almost sub-mm. Also, the coloration in person is much, much, darker green, almost blue-green. The rhizomes went super deep. I stopped digging between 12 and 18 inches. Some were around 1/4" and I never saw significant root mass. Google tells me in these types of sandy areas, bermuda has been found to have roots between 3 to 6 feet deep!
