Great video! I have tried plugging parts of my lawn for the first time this year. I don't know your lawn or soil as well as you do but I would suggest using the rings that come with the pro plugger to ensure that each plug is the same depth. If I recall you can use the provided rings with the pro plugger for 2", 4", and 6"(no ring) to get the desired depth of plug. I used the 4" ring and was satisfied with the depth. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Yeah I realized I forgot to mention the different depths you can pull with the plugger after I finished the video. I initially tried to pull 6" plugs to get as much root mass as possible but with how rocky things are around here it was not practical so I used the ring to give me 4" plugs. That worked much better. Thank you for watching and your support!
Nice video! I'm going to be doing a lot of zoysia plugging this year.
Great video Ben! Got your card, stickers, and prize this week. Looking forward to proudly displaying everything and spreading all that liquid fun! Today's project: irrigation
Thank you! Awesome! Glad you got everything! I hope you enjoy the #sprayandpray. Thank you for all the support!
Awesome work! LCN could have used your help in the first Florida home. Looking great sir!
Thank you! I thought a lot about that video series he did while I was doing this project.
The Lawn Guardian YW👊😎
Not sure how I missed this video.? Great job brother.
Thank you! It's unfortunate that I don't have any bermuda at the new casa.
Awesome vid and time lapse! Excited to see more updates down the road
Thank you! This area is gonna look awesome very soon!
Nice to see you back!!! I was wondering when you were going to upload another video
Thank you! Yeah I was dealing with E Coli last week. Editing wasn't gonna happen.
@@TheLawnGuardian Not good, not good at all, that's no joke. Glad you are feeling better.
That plugger looks like a great tool. Just subscribed.
Thank you! Yes it is a tool that makes hard work much easier. Thank you for the support!
I just started doing this to my zoysia this morning. Looks good
Nice! It's hard work but I found it to be very satisfying! Thank you for watching!
Good stuff. That space will fill in quick with all our rain here in the stl area. Love my proplugger!
Thank you! Yes I definitely think this area is gonna fill in, in no time. It's been nice not having to break out the sprinklers with all the rain we've been getting.
My Bermuda grass plugs do not have lot of root growth, so I get the sprigs on my grass before I mow my grass. The roots of the sprigs are easier to plant and “take root” better.
Great Vid! Coming along well! Great job and explanation of process. PS: Appreciate the the letter and Stick as well as the N-ext Tee and Tumbler! Head in out to mow now! Peace, Chad Upstate NY
Thanks, Chad! You're welcome! Glad you got your prize & I hope you're enjoying it. #Enjoythemow
Benny Boy looking good man. So what you’re saying is your Bermuda Cross gave you some direction. It is the king of Kings and lord of lords grass.
Nice. I see what you did there. Well played. 😀
Great job Lawn Guardian! ! ! Love you, Mom
Thanks, Mom!
This is seriously super helpful, and Im trying to figure out how this video doesnt have 1000s of views
Awesome! I'm glad this was so helpful for you! Here's the results video I shot about 6 weeks after the plugs were installed. ruclips.net/video/iZRF8ICifkc/видео.html ! Thank you for watching and for your support!
Very nice. I like how the bermuda was already filling in when you did the prep work. #alphagrass #flipflopmowsquad
Thank you! The way this grass spreads and fills in so quickly is nuts. The random sprigs rooting down are what I find so impressive.
I heard sprigging is twice as fast as plugs, I am doing both, both working well, still early but looks like the sprigs will win in spreading
I have done both and am currently growing in 4500sqft of bermuda with sprigs. Based on my experience the plugs filled in a little faster. Plugs already have an established root system so the plant can to start growing laterally much faster than sprigs since sprigs have to establish root first. How quickly plugs or sprigs spread and completely fill in an area is going to depend on a lot of factors, one of which would be the sprig and plug rate in an area. Thanks for watching. Here's the latest video on my sprigging project if you'd like to watch. I plan to do an update video soon. ruclips.net/video/V8Gh5LKIzA8/видео.html
@@TheLawnGuardian thanks, i will watch for sure
Nice video bro! Looking good!
Thanks, Aiden!
Nice vid, thanks for posting...being almost 2 years old, is there 1 year after type vid update on this plugging project?
Unfortunately, I no longer live at this house anymore but here is the video with the results. ruclips.net/video/iZRF8ICifkc/видео.html
I think everybody should wear #doubleglasses!
I bet the plugs that mrs lawn guardian did were as far off center as my voice is off tune...
Hahaha! I looked ridiculous. I don't even know why I had the sunglasses on my head since I wasn't even wearing my contacts. Your voice is beautiful. It reminds me of the singing birds in the morning. 😂

Total alpha grass, insane.
It is for sure! At this point I'm most impressed with how the harvest area looks in such a short period of time. Crazy! Come by any time to check it out! 😉
Thank you
You're welcome! Cheers!
Great work Ben! Really enjoyable video, even though you plugged a bunch of weeds (Bermuda).. 😂
Thanks, Don! Technically St. Aug could be considered a weed if you didn't want it in your lawn. HA! 😂
Don’s Lawns Bermuda for president!
ReelBob Shady 😂😂
Awesome content. Do you happen to have a follow up video with an update on this? Thanks.
Thank you! I sure do! Here's the follow-up video with the results. ruclips.net/video/iZRF8ICifkc/видео.html
Pretty cool stuff! #doubleglasses Love it!
Did you actually put some soil back into those harvested area? Or did you just leave it empty?
I put soil back into the harvested area.
Where did you purchase the CarbonX and RGS Humic 12?
Looks really good! How soon after plugging can you mow? Just plugged my lawn a week ago with Latitude Bermuda. What determines how fast the plugs are able to root?
I can't remember how soon I mowed. It wasn't longer after, maybe a week or two and then I was pretty consistent on mowing. I believe the variety of Bermuda places a part in how quickly it will root and start spreading.
Do you put the dirt plugs back in the holes where you pulled the bermuda plugs out?
That is what I did.
Do you have a follow up video on this project to see out come
I sure do! Here's the link to the results video. ruclips.net/video/iZRF8ICifkc/видео.html
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Did you do anything to the area where you removed the plugs? Back fill with soil or just let it alone?
Thank you! I used the dirt plugs from the area I filled with plugs to fill the holes from where the plugs were harvested.
@@TheLawnGuardian Full circle, Nice!
is that common or hybrid?
It's common.
Do that work with hybrid?
I got that thing and it's horrible because the plugs get stuck in it. Maybe spray some W D forty or something in it
The only time I have plug get stuck is if the soil was too wet.
So the area that your harvested from did you do anything to refill those holes? What's your recommendation on that part?
I used the dirt plugs from the area I filled with plugs to fill the holes from where the plugs were harvested.
Push the fert, seems like Bermuda loves it. Nice job tho.
Bermuda does love it! It's gonna fill in, in no time!
How does it look now Ben?
Hey Jayme! Thanks for checking this video out. Unfortunately, I no longer live at this house with this bermuda patch but here's the results video I shot about 6 weeks after the plugs were installed. ruclips.net/video/iZRF8ICifkc/видео.html ! Thank you again for your support!
I have a different kind of question. What effect will Prodiamine have on bermudagrass plugs?
I have just treated my Altlanta Georgia Bermudagrass lawn with full rate Prodiamine ( .83 ) March 9, 2020. I have plans to plug in about a month when the Bermuda grass comes out of dormant
Will the pretreatment effect the roots from retarding or “club rooting?”
Great question. From what I researched prior to doing this project, a pre-emergent can cause some issues for the roots coming off the stolons when the plugs begin to spread which can slow the growth of the plugs overall. If you loosen the soil in the area you want to put plugs, it can lesson the chance of the pre-emergent from causing this issue. I'd recommend reading the label of whatever pre-emergent you used to follow it's recommendations.
Preemergents don’t normally state their recommendation on the label about Bermudagrass plugs.
I guess braking the protective barrier & the plugger pulling out 2”-3” of soil, and all the rain I’m getting. If I also wait until May to start. It might have little to no effect with any luck.
@@matthewinga9546 I gotcha. I couldn't remember if I got some of my info from the label or from just speaking to professionals like Matt Martin.
Good luck with your plugging project. Once you start, send me pics of your plugging project to my email. thelawnguardian@gmail.com
@@matthewinga9546 so I was reading through the Prodiamine 65 WDG label and immediately thought of your question when I read this.
"Prodiamine 65WDG may be used on newly sprigged or plugged Bermudagrass at rates not to exceed .80lb./A. (.30oz./1000sqft.) Newly sprigged or plugged Bermudagrass stolon rooting may be temporarily retarded."
This is straight from the label of this particular prodiamine product. If I could take a picture of it and post it to this comment I would. I hope this helps.
Does it matter what paint is used? Just wanna be sure it’s not contaminating the soil somehow.
Its been 27 years of waiting/suffering
@@kkevinj1 LOL! Feels like it's gonna be another 27 years too.
@@ohxietviet jus messin around lol
I'm not sure. I just used what I had around the house. I wasn't using much paint at all.
In Virginia bermudagrass is a weed, I am trying to fight it from time to time. What State do you live in?
I'm in Missouri. Most people here think of bermudagrass as a weed as well.
