om...
I started laying my sods about a week ago.Due to rainy weather, I
could not put all the sods within a day. As a result, I put some of
sods after 3 days from time of delivery. Although the sod was not
dired out, the blades were not green. They looked dried. When I put
these sods, I have been watering these guys since then. However, I
cannot see any sign of recovery. Should I wait more, or the grass is
dead?


Sod has a very short shelf life - it should be laid as soon as possible
after harvesting, within 2-3 days. If you got yours direct from a sod
grower, you may still be okay with regualr deep watering. If you got them
from a retailer who in turn got them from a grower, they could have been as
much as a week old before you purchased it. In this case, the chances of its
revival are slim.
