PLUGGING: To plug Meyer (Z-52) Zoysia in your existing lawn 
dig holes about twelve inches apart in a checkerboard pattern (see 
diagram below). Holes should be two inches in diameter. They 
can be made with any garden tool or a regular plugging device, 
which can be secured through most garden supply stores. Tne 
plugs you will receive will be two inches in diameter and contain 
a complete section of sod with soil included. Drop plugs inte pre- 
pared holes and press firmly into place with your foot. Keep well 
watered for.a minimum of two weeks. There will be a dormant 
period after planting when the plugs will lose color, but do not 
worry. In about a month after planting, the plugs will begin to 
send out runners and spread. Bear in mind that the development 
of this grass is underground at first and there may be little visible 
progress for some time. It is advisable to keep a space cleared 
around each plug to facilitate the growth of the runners, clearing 
ahead as the runners spread. By doing this a solid turf may be 
obtained in one season. Fertilize as for sprigs.

area, sprigs may be planted 
at anytime. In the northern
