Plug Installation

Soil preparation starts at least 1 month in advance with repeat herbicide applications. Water heavily than apply grass killing and pre-emergent chemicals (or thorough solarization with heavy plastic) to kill existing plant life and seeds in your soil. Soil must then be raked, re-watered deeply to provide compaction and amended with topsoil before planting.

Plugs are best installed with a 15" bulb auger drill attachment. Dipping plugs in a specialty root dip helps to speed their establishment. Water heavily and daily after plug planting and throughout the first 1-2 months establishment. Slowly reduce watering to one time a week over a six month period AFTER roots have begun to establish.

Plants take anywhere from 120-160 days to fully establish. May be slower in cooler coastal climates.
