Answer to Question 1

Vegetative propagation involves using parts of the growing plant to establish new turf
by using sod, sprigs, or plugs.

Answer to Question 2

The new lawn will be ready to mow when the turfgrass plants are higher than the
height at which they will normally be maintained. After the first mowing, the general
rule of thumb is the 1/3:2/3 rule, which means removing one-third and leaving twothirds at each mowing.
