Growing a new lawn by planting grass plugs (with video)

• Use the ProPlugger 5-IN-1 planting tool to plug and plant spreading grasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda, and Centipede
• Not recommended for St Augustine Grass:  These plugs tend to fall apart during the transplanting process

There are 3 methods for planting grass plugs with the ProPlugger

1^st Method:  Planting grass plugs from sod

Directions

• Plant a section of sod
• Let it root in for at least 3 weeks
• Take plugs from the sod with the ProPlugger every 3″ apart
• Plant the plugs in sections every 6″ apart
• Fill in the holes with compost or a compost/soil mix
• Water the new plugs just as you water new sod

Read this article for detailed directions on planting plugs from sod

Or, watch the video below for a quick summary of the process

2^nd Method: Plant grass plugs from trays purchased online

• These plugs are more expensive than sod, but convenient since you can buy them online and have them shipped to you
• Read this article for more information on planting grass plugs from trays
• Or, watch the video below for a quick summary of the process

3^rd Method:  Take plugs from a neighbors lawn

• Some customers have done this
• They harvest plugs from their neighbors lawn with the ProPlugger, and fill the holes in with compost
• The neighbor gets their soil amended, and they get free plugs
• The planting and maintaining of these plugs is the same process as those above

4^th Method

Buy a small amount of sod

Then use the ProPlugger to take plugs out of the sod

(This differs from the 1st method in that you don’t ever plant the sod)
