I had my doubts but it actually does work in compacted Geoegia red clay.
Just have to wait for a good rain to soak the lawn then another day for it to dry a little bit. I weigh 200lbs and some spots do require 2 to 3 jumps to sink it down to the deepest ring. I also have rocks in my yard and it was able to break some of them while others just had to be dug out. I am not using or swapping plugs, instead I an filling the holes with a topsoil, compost, sand, and humichar mixture. I had been doing so before a 2” auger bit in my drill which did work well at getting out the stones but killed by back.

      Worked great with 3” plugs! Purchased to help fill in some large bare spots In the yard. I got the 3” zoysia plugs and quickly realized the plugs were larger than the tube diameter (whoops forgot to read the details lol). Did a YouTube search and found the company has a video on how to plant the square plugs. It worked great! You basically just make 3 holes in the ground that overlap each other in a triangle shape. The plugging went super quick. The hole sometimes would have a small gap between the plug that I’d just sprinkle some loose dirt into. Highly recommend!

        Saves time, saves your back and knees! Well worth it especially if your planting numerous plugs and/or small plants.

          I was not expecting this tool would be that awesome. I planted 100 bulbs in 40 min! Great buy!

          Worked well despite clay and pebbles. Turn it upside down to more easily empty out the plugs.

          Fast shipping. There was a little ding near the top from shipping that in no way affect its operation

          Built sturdy and cuts well. Does the job for smaller size plugs. Plugs are about 2 1/2 inch's in diameter.

          This is the best design in a sod plug removal or planter that I’ve ever come across. The tool is robust and easier than I thought it would be to master. With no availability of zoysia grass seed, I was forced to use zoysia plugs from one area of my yard to regrow some severe damage from fungus and then grubs! After treatment and adding new soil, I sowed plugs with the ProPlugger and my lawn is recovering!! I made sure my soil (almost sold clay under the few inches of topsoil) was nice and moist before attempting to use the ProPlugger. It worked just like their videos!!! That is so awesome. In my opinion, worth every dime.

          This is a must-have… works great for the sod plugs that we purchased and I’m sure we’ll use it for other plantings down the road.

          Very disappointed. It seems the conditions have to be EXACTLY perfect to use this product. It was purchased because I was creating a new flower bed and wanted to relocate plugs to another area. Followed the directions, tried clearing after one plug and it would not drop. Used it two consecutive times and the plugs would not come out. Tried clearing with water and just made more of a mess. Not worth the time or water resources to clear the plugger. It will be returned.

          Plugging is the way to go. I’ve spent much more on grass seed in the past with little or no success. This works for me.

          not the best tool for square grass plugs
          If this tool made square holes instead of circular holes then I would rate it higher. It is exhausting trying to shove a square plug into a circular hole. A shovel is better.

            This tool made planting much easier and quicker to get my St Augustine plugs planted. I would recommend emptying the plugger after 2-3 hole’s especially if you have any small rocks in your soil. This will help prevent it from being clogged up.

            Built for heavy duty work.
            Very well built. Certainly no worry about it bending or breaking. Does the job.

            Best Tool Ever & Easy to Use
            I normally don't take the time to write reviews, but in this case I'm making an exception. This tool is so easy to use (set's the depth, just twist it in, turn it upside down and the plug falls out. I planted 100 bulbs in just 2 hours. I would totally recommend this tool to anyone.
