Sod installed Tuesday followed by rain most of the day yesterday equals to well established roots I am hoping! I guess advantage of sodding now is that it keeps raining every couple of days so don’t really need to do anything. Come to think of it, the only times you really need to “water” your plants/grass in this area is if you have an extended dry run in summers which doesn’t happen very often. Otherwise going 2 weeks without rain is a miracle.
