Moving of the ZOYSIA Plugs

The Moving of the Plugs

The long anticipated moving of the zoysia plugs has begun here in Beavercreek, Ohio. I watch and study season to season to determine the best place to move last years massive growth to so that the coming season will bring even closer those not tan with those areas tan. Given this is Ohio ... amazoy is the zoysia that has the most staying power.
I moved the first dozen, this afternoon, they were each about the shovel head square, no need to rush I will pick up the shovel again on Tuesday and move a dozen more...and then again on Wednesday. (or about 36 plugs in all and who knows maybe one for a neighbor or two) Thursday we have rain on it's way so the end of the 'Moving of the Plugs' will conclude. Almost seems like the 12 Days of Christmas with all the excitement.

My Favorite 1 of 5 Plug Tricks

When you live in a plug only part of the country, like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland ... you live in the plug only, due to limited sunlight we have a limited growing season. Distributing plugs around your yard can become expensive and given the size of you yard those plug can easily get lost or loss a battle with your lawn mower.
1. Here is what I have done, take a large plug, shovel circle size of your current Zoysia, move this large plug to it's new home then roto-till the current spot where you don't have Zoysia growing, then plant winter wheat where you just removed the large plug from, winter wheat will grow during the down season for Zoysia and into the next growing season, summer then it will die off with mowing.
