SodPlugger by Corona Review - ProPlugger vs. SodPlugger: Which tool is best for making grass plugs?

[@PrincessCutLawnCare]

awesome comparison dude, very well done. just shared to my community wall

[@TurfandStem]

Thank you! That really means a lot. I'm realizing that it isn't easy to make a video and there is a lot to learn. From audio to editing, it's pretty overwhelming! I've learned a ton watching your videos!

[@PrincessCutLawnCare]

@@TurfandStem it’s hard work brotha but it’s very rewarding and so much fun! Keep it up, your doing a great job 👍

[@wcbscout]

I am interested in the corona because I have such rocky soil in north Idaho that I cannot really get a full depth plug with the pro plugger. With the corona having a shallower plug with greater width seems advantageous

[@TurfandStem]

Let us know how it works please!

[@johnnynebular]

Excellent comparison and thank you for showing me how to use the corona 🙏

[@TurfandStem]

Thank you! Glad it helped.

What is your take on aerating? I have a tow behind? Works really well after a good soaking or rain, my question is, will aerating once a month during the lawn season do any harm? I think not, letting water, fertilizer, air in. What's your take? From one Mass guy to another, thanks 🙏

[@TurfandStem]

I would limit the aerating to once a year, usually the fall is the best time. Aerating monthly is going to be pretty stressful on the grass, especially in the summer months.

Will it work making plugs out of a sod tray?

[@TurfandStem]

I think it would. Save some money though and take it from an unseen area of grass!

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

@@TurfandStem I dont have any good areas to spare sadly

I’m in A similar situation I bought both and will see for myself

[@stevebabiak6997]

An idea that someone else posted online: get those seed starters that will decompose, fill with soil and top with seed and starter fertilizer, water until seed sprouts, then put into bare spots once grass gets a couple of inches tall. For anyone who just wants plugs of sod, that should be a good method.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

@@stevebabiak6997 I found a place called Sod Solutions aand can order flats of plugs

[@italianballbreaker]

Where can I buy the sod plugger ?

[@TurfandStem]

They're available at Home Depot, Lowe's, Tractor Supply and Amazon. The best price seems to be at Lowe's and Home Depot at just under $25.

[@vashon100]

You missed that the pro plugger extracts 3 different depth plugs, which is a big benefit. How could you miss that.

[@TurfandStem]

I think most people that use it for grass plugs just use the largest setting automatically.

[@vashon100]

@@TurfandStem I use the 4" for lawn. Regardless, it does provide the option that the other doesn't.

[@bluepandaman]

I’m so jealous if people who don’t have St Augustine. Every single plug tool video has other types of grass. St Aug doesn’t do well with these tools.

[@TurfandStem]

Is it because St. Aug is too thick with few roots?

[@ddgardner5671]

@@TurfandStem I think it's because the stolons are too thick and tough.

It’s like Minecraft blocks

Interesting...I guess they do look like real life Minecraft!
