ABSTRACT:
A method of rapidly propagating grass and other living plant materials using a sod slurry. The method includes mechanically mixing sod having the desired species of grass or other living plant material with water, fertilizer and a slicking agent to produce a sod slurry which may be sprayed onto a prepared section of land using a conventional pump, hose and nozzle or other types of commercially available spraying equipment. Alternatively, the sod slurry may be poured from a bucket or other suitable container onto the prepared area of land. Mulch and other materials may be added to the mixing tank as appropriate for the selected species of grass or other living plant material. The soil portion of the sod cooperates with other portions of the slurry such as fertilizer or mulch to encourage rapid growth of the selected species of grass or other living plant material on the prepared area of land.
