Overall, Bermuda grass is favored for providing a lush green cover in high-traffic areas, such as residential lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields.

Grass Plug Coverage
Each SodPods® grass plug is approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. A 16-pack grass plug tray can cover up to 32 square feet when spaced 18 inches apart. For faster coverage, reduce the spacing between plugs.
How to Plant Bermuda Grass Plugs
SodPods® make planting grass plugs easy and convenient. Follow these simple steps:
1. Dig Holes: Use a shovel or the SodPods® Power Planter sod plug tool to dig holes for the plugs, spacing them 6-18 inches apart.
2. Drop a NutriPod®: For best results, we recommend using NutriPod®—a specialized lawn fertilizer designed for SodPods®. Simply drop one NutriPod® into each planting hole before inserting the grass plugs. This provides essential nutrients for the plugs, ensuring healthy and robust grass growth.
3. Insert Plugs: Insert a grass plug into each hole and press firmly into the soil. Ensure the plugs are upright, with the grass blades level with the ground.
4. Water: Water frequently for the first two weeks after installation to keep the soil moist several inches deep. Adjust the frequency as needed based on weather conditions. Once new growth appears, reduce watering to 1-2 times weekly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use sod or plugs?
Grass plugs are a more cost-effective solution than traditional sod and are great for dealing with a smaller area or filling in bare or damaged spots in an existing lawn. Additionally, plugs are well-suited for areas with irregular shapes or slopes where laying sod would be challenging. Overall, plugs are a versatile option that can be more practical and efficient in certain lawn care situations.
How to use the NutriPod® grass fertilizer?
Each NutriPod® grass fertilizer contains a balance of essential nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, formulated to help the grass plugs adapt to their new environment and grow up to two times faster. To use, drop one NutriPod® into each planting hole before inserting the grass plug. This ensures the nutrients are delivered directly to the roots, promoting healthy growth and establishment. The effects of NutriPod® can last up to 45 days, providing long-lasting nourishment for your lawn.
How to use the SodPods® Power Planter tool?
The SodPods® Power Planter tool makes planting grass plugs quick, easy, and efficient. To use, attach the tool to a cordless drill and set it to a low speed. Position the auger tool where you want to plant a plug and gently press the trigger to start drilling. The tool will create a uniform hole in the soil, perfectly sized for the grass plug. Remove the tool and insert a grass plug into the hole. Repeat this process for each plug, ensuring they are evenly spaced for optimal coverage.
