re: Tell me about plugging St Augustine

Before you start "planting" the grass pugs, I would use a tiller to break up the area you plan to plant. After you plant the plugs, water the area until it is soaked. Then step on each plug to push it down so it is level with ground. This will ensure the area is level and back filling around the plugs is not needed.

Also, sprinkle the area with a little fertilizer before planting the plugs.
