Did you know:  

Grassing Information:
Sprigging is the process of removing stems (stolons or rhizomes) from mature bermudagrass stands and replanting the vegetative cuttings in a different location. Any grass that has a lateral growth habit can be established by sprigs, but the aggressive growth rate of bermudagrass makes sprigging a very popular way of establishing new fields. Sprigs are typically from 3 to 5 inches long and contain numerous nodes (i.e. growing points) from which new roots and shoots develop.
