Default Removing small roots from lawn

I don't
need compost because the grass I'm transplanting comes with 3" of it's
own
"compost" - it's healthy grass with enough dirt underneath transplanted
with
it.


Ok. Then why do you need to cut the roots? You should be able to just lay
the sod right over them. It's the lesser of the two evils. You don't
understand trees, either.


Because the grass sod coming in has 4 inches of dirt with it, and I can't
dig out 4" of dirt with the roots there. Do you understand how to
transplant healthy grass?


I've probably laid more sod, in the past year, than you've laid in your
entire life. I've never seen a sod farm pull 4" of soil on either a "big
roll" or a pallet. Never. As in not one time. Sound's like *you're* the one
that doesn't know how to 'transplant healthy grass'.


and no the transplanted grass doesn't "suffer the same fate".


It will, if you don't get a grip on the acidity. Of course, the falling
tree could do more damage than the acid, I'll give ya that.


No, it won't. Been working for years.


Apparently not, if you're replacing sections of thinning sod.

You act like pine needles fall in one little 4 foot square on the lawn
and magically avoid the rest.


You act like bent's kid. Are you related?

Frankly, you don't seem too bright.


Maybe I'm not. *shrug* But, at least I understand the interactions and
reactions of different flora. That's quite a bit more than can be said for
yourself.
