ABSTRACT:
A device and method for cutting, removing and inserting adjustable depth plugs of square straight edged turf. Square straight edged turf is readily positionable and makes a clean patch where a straight edge must be maintained. The device has a square frame in plan view with the four sides having openings and an open top and bottom. The square frame allows for the storage and easy transport of the square cut turf plugs to the insertion location, while the openings in the frame allow access to the stacked plugs. A cutting edge is provided on the open bottom with adjustable stops positioned near the open bottom. The adjustment of the stops allows the depth or thickness of the turf plug to be varied as needed. Consequently, the plugs can be varied as to depth to be cut. Angle irons comprise the adjustable stops, and the frame may be of welded steel or aluminum.
