Have a similar situation. Bought the vacant lot next to me and it’s all weeds. Approximately 1/4 acre, so sod would be expensive. Curious how well the plugs work. Would I be correct to:

Kill weeds
Level with mortar sand
Plug with pieces of sod

Main concern is the weeds that may grow between the plugs.

I don’t think you should be concerned about that just mow the area as you normally would after you install plugs, and the st aug will quickly shoot out runners along the ground.

What Spankum said. If you want to fill and level, use river silt. Plugs or sod slabs here and there. Put down a 12x18 St Aug slab to fill a small gap on the edge of centipede in 2017, it's now taken over about 40 sf.
