ABSTRACT:
A process for growing a light-weight, transportable sod-mat and for facilitating the implantation of such a mat on a lawn bed comprises germinating lawn-grass seeds in a thin layer of growing medium spread over a mat of non-woven polypropylene laying on an impermeable membrane. After germination, the mat and the inseminated growing medium is installed over a layer of porous material such as decomposed granite covering a conditioned subsoil. Drip irrigation lines are run through the upper region of the porous material.
