[QUOTE="eric, post: 104175, member: 7"] Yes, very dry, but we did get some rain today! You're right, there's nothing he can do until Sept at the earliest, I assumed he knew not to be spending any money right now. Unless he just wants go and get it disced up, that wont hurt anything. A sprigger is a guy who owns a sprigging machine! Sprigs are little pieces of bermuda with the root entact, and the sprigging machine sets the individual spriggs into the ground every few inches. Its cheaper than sodding / hydromulching, but more expensive than just spreading seed out. But you must have water within a couple of days or so (depending on the temperature) or you'll just waste your money as the sprigs will just dry up and die. Once the roots set in, bermuda spreads rapidly when the spring rains come. But if it doesnt rain after you plant them, then you get to do it again, and you get to pay the sprigger again! ;-) There are several guys around here that still do sprigging, mostly older guys who already have the equipment. Let me know if you're interested, and I can get you a couple numbers and you can see what they charge nowadays. [/QUOTE]
