What are the benefits of growing Certified turf?  Maintaining genetic purity has become a focal point in the industry and certification standards insure it.  Our nursery is responsible for following the set guidelines from the NC Crop Improvement Association and our stock is inspected prior to your plugs being shipped out.  You will receive a special blue tag with every tray we send, which can track your plug to the foundation field from which it came.

Each unit of order is 1 grow tray (50 plugs) to be used with our AUGER drill bit.  This tray will cover about 68 square feet when using 12" spacing between plugs.
