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?

how long could a sod Farm continue as a sod Farm if
they actually delivered sod with 4" of dirt attached?





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. You act like pine needles fall in
one little 4 foot square on the lawn and magically avoid the rest. Frankly,
you don't seem too bright.

I been reading Eggs for over a year and he is one of the
very few posting in this group who actually displays an
in-depth understanding for plant life.

you jeffc on the other hand, well, thanks for the entertainment.

I'm not a sod farm and I don't have to follow their rules. The more dirt
you transplant with the healthy grass the better, especially since the soil
is better than the soil it's replacing. Obviously they don't do it that way
with sod farms. If you'd been paying attention, you'd understand the
difference between what I'm trying to do and what a sod farm does. Use your
head.

your word selection of "Because the grass sod coming in"
implies you are receiving a shipment of sod.

No, it doesn't. Nice try, but you're clueless too.
