Sod rolls at a garden center














Example of What NOT to Buy














OK, we're back with some pics.

The rolls of sod that you see are an example of what happens
after just a few hours in the sun. The soil that surrounds the sod is
dried and the grass is a pale, green or yellow. If you plant this
sod your chances of success are pretty slim and it just isn't
worth the effort.

Sod is grown in local downstate sod farms, cut the previous day,
weather permitting and delivered in the early morning hours
to the nursery or garden center. If you plan on a lawn repair using sod,
your best chance at success is to get to the garden center as
early as possible, have some gloves and a plastic liner for your vehicle.
