Sprigging

Sprigging is usually common with warm-season grasses such as Centipede, St. Augustine, Hybrid Bermuda, and Zoysia. The sprig is the grass stem and roots of the grass. Sprigs are normally produced by simply tearing apart the sod or purchasing already cut sprigs. The sprigs should be kept in direct sunlight. Sprigging may have advantages and disadvantages. Some advantages are that sprigging can be less expensive then sodding and it can help to create a deep and solid root system. Disadvantages may include time consumption, high maintenance, and the results take longer than sodding itself.
