| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the thickness of sod patches on athletic fields, suggesting that "thinly cut sod will knit and take root much more quickly than sod that is cut thick. A thickness of three-quarters of an inch is considered excellent for this type of sod." Mentions that "sod should be allowed to knit for several weeks before it is subjected to heavy play or it may be torn loose and cause injuries." |
