Great plugger for fixing lawn problems [Posted on 2008-04-12]
I live in a neighborhood where most of the lawns are great. June bugs and grubs took mine out of that category. But this tool is great to let me take plugs of good St. Augustine grass and plug them where the turf is weaker. I've done plugs manually before, and this makes the whole process so much simpler.

OK, but needs design change  [Posted on 2008-05-03]
I really wanted this product to work. My lawn is set in mostly clay soil in Ohio. Lawn has been established for 9 years, but due to summer months with less rain the bad grasses take over. My father had plugged his lawn in Kentucky with zoysia - a heat tolerant grass that spreads nicely in the 60's. This worked nice but turns brown too early and greens up late.

The Yard Butler Sod Plugger is designed to make a nice size square plug. These plugs would be great for removing the undesirable grasses and planting new grass or sod in their place. The only problem is after a rain in late April and the ground was moderately moist, this tool could not cut thru the lawn and produce a plug. This might work well for sandy or black soil types but not for clay based soils. I imagine in the 2 to 3 week period right after winter the soil would be moist and soft enough use to use this tool.

The tool is relatively sturdy, but could use a design change to work in certain soils. If a step on bar was raised higher - so as to allow more force it might work. I had limited success with a tulip bulb planter, but the edges were not sharp enough to properly penetrate the soil.

Cheapest way to start a new yard [Posted on 2008-06-04]
If you are trying to establish a new lawn this is the way to go. I used it to transplaant some grass into my new yard and it worked without a flaw. Easy to use and very well made.
