[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 42639, member: 3"] The majority of my earlier plugs were completely cut out and I haven't seen one die yet (even in my own back yard), but as I said I've always made my incisions fairly vertical. I honestly can't see how cutting the plug to say 80% would make any different to the overall survival of the grass. Grass will continue to live providing the roots haven't been butchered, this is the most important thing of all. The plug will have the same amount of moisture as the surrounding soil so I can't see that being a real issue either. I have seen both types of plugs die off from over butchering, so my own personal opinion is that it all comes down to the angle of the cut and how well the plug is handled during target extraction. I'll make a video someday demonstrating the technique I sometimes use as well as a 1 week follow up (with no watering) :) [/QUOTE]
