| Question: | "I have new greens (five months since seeding) but still have some small bare areas and thin spots that have not yet filled in. Is there a trick to fill in these areas besides sodding or plugging?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Oklahoma |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "If the spot is about 6" or less, simply use a cup cutter and insert it into the ground, as you would changing a cup, one half over the bare spot. Then rotate the plug 180° and pull out the cup cutter. The smaller spots remaining will be filled in very quickly. On a slightly larger spot, this can be done on both sides. This method leaves the area smooth and is very labor friendly compared to plugging." |
